Hi Peter, Thanks for the prompt response. I'm trying to download NSS for Java (JSS), but the latest version at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/jss/releases/JSS_3_7_RTM/
only has HP-UXB platform where I wanted linux since I'm running fedora to test this out. At the readme file it said The source tree for this release can be checked out using this command: cvs co -r <CVS tag> mozilla/security/coreconf mozilla/security/jss where <CVS tag> is a CVS tag defined below. For most platforms CVS tag: JSS_3_7_RTM I need to know the CVS root to check this out or how do I obtain this NSS for Java running on linux? I also noticed the NSS release download page for windows only has windows95 & windowsNT supported where I need one for windows32 or xp. Thanks!
