Quick update, the crime report I made on the webpage that Konqueror rejected the certificate did in fact arrive, the usual within 2 hours reply not being met in this case (I'm not sure exactly why!).
An additional thought returned to mind, konqueror didn't reject the certificate every time I went to the page for some odd reason, the cert. was initially rejected, but then I found I could access the page without the cert. error for a while, however the cert. error returned after maybe half a dozen accesses to the page. One other point, I'm using a more or less bare metal install (or the best a non-engineer can do at least - no more than twm etc.). (I also run home CCTV, though usually set my desktop up as a kiosk type login anyway.)
I've now changed VPN passwords using a mobile Internet connection, and servers while at it. Konqueror is still rejecting the page though. Checked one other site I know to be verified by VeriSign also and konqueror had no difficulty with it.
To conclude I am without a doubt being hacked badly (I've just tried to create a SL6 VM that was hacked almost immediately), though whether or not the phenomena with konqueror is a hack is still open I think.
If anyone has any tips on dealing with DNS spoofing and MITM attacks, books, webpages, etc., it would be appreciated.

ne_ssl_cert_issuer
NE_SSL_CERT_IDENTITY(3) neon API reference NE_SSL_CERT_IDENTITY(3)
NAME
ne_ssl_cert_identity, ne_ssl_cert_signedby, ne_ssl_cert_issuer, ne_ssl_cert_subject - functions to access certificate properties
SYNOPSIS
#include <ne_ssl.h>
const char *ne_ssl_cert_identity(const ne_ssl_certificate *cert);
const ne_ssl_certificate *ne_ssl_cert_signedby(const ne_ssl_certificate *cert);
const ne_ssl_dname *ne_ssl_cert_subject(const ne_ssl_certificate *cert);
const ne_ssl_dname *ne_ssl_cert_issuer(const ne_ssl_certificate *cert);
DESCRIPTION
The function ne_ssl_cert_identity retrieves the "identity" of a certificate; for an SSL server certificate, this will be the hostname for
which the certificate was issued. In PKI parlance, the identity is the common name attribute of the distinguished name of the certificate
subject.
The functions ne_ssl_cert_subject and ne_ssl_cert_issuer can be used to access the objects representing the distinguished name of the
subject and of the issuer of a certificate, respectively.
If a certificate object is part of a certificate chain, then ne_ssl_cert_signedby can be used to find the certificate which signed a
particular certificate. For a self-signed certificate or a certificate for which the full chain is not available, this function will return
NULL.
RETURN VALUE
ne_ssl_cert_issuer and ne_ssl_cert_subject are guaranteed to never return NULL. ne_ssl_cert_identity may return NULL if the certificate
has no specific "identity". ne_ssl_cert_signedby may return NULL as covered above.
EXAMPLES
The following function could be used to display information about a given certificate:
void dump_cert(const ne_ssl_certificate *cert) {
const char *id = ne_ssl_cert_identity(cert);
char *dn;
if (id)
printf("Certificate was issued for '%s'.
", id);
dn = ne_ssl_readable_dname(ne_ssl_cert_subject(cert));
printf("Subject: %s
", dn);
free(dn);
dn = ne_ssl_readable_dname(ne_ssl_cert_issuer(cert));
printf("Issuer: %s
", dn);
free(dn);
}
