8 Looking through them is "interesting". There seem to be a lot of
9 /etc/ssl/certs/????????.0 files, where "?" is either a random number or
10 a lower case letter. These all seem to be symlinks to
11 /etc/ssl/certs/<Some_Name>.pem. Each of those files is in turn a
12 symlink to /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/<Some_Name>.crt. How much
13 do we trust China? There are a couple of certificates in there named
14 /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Hongkong_Post_Root_CA_1.crt and
15 /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/Hongkong_Post_Root_CA_3.crt. Any
16 other suspicious regimes in there?
