A colleague installed, reported that DNS resolution was broken, same as
before when he tried 0.11, uninstalled, got DNS resolution back.

I'll take a look, if I can persuade him, when I'm in the same town as
him next week.

Will let you know when I've been through a few hibernate/resume cycles
without issue.  :)

I was slightly disconcerted that
/etc/dnssec-trigger/dnssec_trigger_control.key is now installed 0644
since the "submit" command means an untrusted service account can now
subvert DNS for the more trusted accounts.

Of course, since my "trusted" account runs a web-browser, that's not a
clear point in favour of the distinction being meaningful.  On a server,
I think it is more meaningful.

For myself, my logbook shows I used:

sudo chmod +a "pdp allow read" \
	/etc/dnssec-trigger/dnssec_trigger_control.key
sudo chmod +a "pdp allow read" \
	/etc/unbound/unbound_control.key /etc/unbound/unbound_control.pem \
	/etc/unbound/unbound_server.pem

I suspect that the right approach, on MacOS, is to use the "admin"
group, so `chmod +a "group:admin allow read" $files` should be the
safest invocation (handling when a user called admin exists too).

Thoughts?
