Answer 1

1. A default installation of Mono doesn't trust anyone!
2. mozroots will download and import trusted root certificates from Mozilla's LXR.
3. Read the Mono Security FAQ

EDIT:

• Try the latest version of Mono packages from here
• If that doesn't work either try the SVN trunk version here
• From the Bug 606002, Gonzalo Paniagua Javier' suggested: "The way to go is to add your ServerCertificateValidationCallback to ServicePointManager and ignore errors with this code."
• I have little experience in this area so I suggest to contact him for further assistance, maybe he can help. He's email is gonzalo@gonzalo.name (his blog)

Answer 2

Follow-up about bug 606002 - here is the code to ignore said error code. Call it once in your initialization

            ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += delegate(object sender, X509Certificate cert, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors) {
            if (sslPolicyErrors == SslPolicyErrors.RemoteCertificateChainErrors) {
                foreach (X509ChainStatus status in chain.ChainStatus) {
                    if (status.Status != X509ChainStatusFlags.RevocationStatusUnknown) {
                        return false;
                    }
                }
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        };
