Hmm, found some comments in the "trusted" root CA certs shipped with my Linux
distribution.

There are lines containing for example

# alias=Entrust Root Certification Authority
# trust=server-auth
# openssl-trust=serverAuth

Is this how trust meta data is added to certs? Is that documented anywhere?

Ciao, Michael.
