While opening private keys indeed makes sense only while Unbound has root privileges, because they should be readable only by root, right to read public keys should pose no threat. Thus it makes sense for administrator to allow CA bundle to be read by any user and Unbound should be able to refresh it on reload. Unfortunately there is no way of telling whether the bundle will be accessible after chroot, thus CA bundle can not be refreshed if chroot is used. Fix: NLnetLabs#1260
