Steam failing to load SSL certs


Hi. I've built an LFS system recently, and I have most things working as intended. I have installed the likes of make-ca, openssl, p11-kit etc. Whenever I run Steam, it fails to login with this error (if I run it in a terminal):

Code:
Assertion Failed: unable to load trusted SSL root certificates
I have made sure the certs are there under /etc/ssl/certs, and they definitely are. I also tried stuff like removing the steam folders, and even creating a new user, though the issue persists. Has anyone else ever encountered an issue like this?

Have you checked that the process Steam runs as has permissions on the cert files?
