Hi Paddy,

Thanks for this.  I'll have a look.  

Incidentally, the *good* server that I was referencing my broken server against has decided to start giving the curl certificate errors in the same way that the broken one did. Very strange.  I ran 

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates reinstall ca-certificates

on this server and again it fixed the problem. This would suggest that the problem is actually external to the original broken server.
