    In Fedora Core / CentOS / RHEL (ver 7.0 and above the location for the *.pem/*.cer files is /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors (the command to update the root CA is update-ca-trust there.

    The pre 7.0 RHEL location is /usr/local/share/ca-certificates.

    It could be also relevant for Scientific Linux / SLES (Suse Linux Enterprise Server) / OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux) as they also belong to the RPM family.
