>Organization:
The NetBSD Certification.local
>Environment:
>Description:
The default /etc/openssl/certs.conf, used to configure the systemwide TLS trust anchors at /etc/openssl/certs, finds certificates from only one place: /usr/share/certs/mozilla/server.

We should add some other canonical path where site-local trust anchors can be added so that certctl(8) will automatically pick them up for TLS trust anchors.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to adapt, e.g., go-mkcert (https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert) to NetBSD without teaching it to edit the /etc/openssl/certs.conf file
>Fix:
Candidates for this bikeshed paint:

/usr/local/share/certs/server
/etc/openssl/certs.local
