Yes - as a leaf of root, using the roots crl to see if any root-signed certs are revoked.

Works! Great, thanks for the hint Viktor.
Just recognized, that the manpage lists the "crl_check_all" options right after the "crl_check", which i used... >_<

Using the crl_check_all it also complains about a missing crl now, when I remove the root's crl from the store.
This wasnt the case when using crl_check, which also wondered me a bit before.
Not it all makes sense :-)

Thanks again!
