Hi Marc,

Ha ha, that’s ok - I understood what you meant re: trust/trusty!

Yes, I receive the warning for the one expired trust anchor.  To test this I:

    * Enabled DNSSEC validation in: /etc/systemd/resolved.conf

    * Restarted systemd-resolved

    * Verified that DNSSEC validation was available via: sudo systemd-resolve 
--status

    * Exercised the DNSSEC validation functionality with a DNSSEC enabled site: 
systemd-resolve www.ietf.org

Upon the last step, this triggers the single warning message in syslog about 
the one outdated root trust anchor but as the result of that step I can see 
that the data was authenticated.

Originally, I thought after I ran that last step that DNSSEC validation 
*failed* but I was incorrect.
