Alan, in NSS 3.11 we added two new files for Linux: libfreebl3.so and libfreebl3.chk. So for NSS 3.11 or newer, you also need to transfer these two files. > When I ran this util to create the .db's I was greated with and error > message that doesn't actually give much away (other then it hasn't worked) > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Certificate_Conversion_Tools(new)]$ export > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Certificate_Conversion_Tools(new)]$ ./certutil -N -d certdb/ > > certutil: function failed: An I/O error occurred during security > authorization. This error message is not ideal. It doesn't tell you what the problem is. To NSS team: this error message corresponds to the error code SEC_ERROR_IO. We should at least remove "during security authorization" because we use SEC_ERROR_IO in other situations, not to mention I don't know what "security authorization" means. Also, CKR_DEVICE_ERROR gets mapped to SEC_ERROR_IO. Is there a better NSS error code for CKR_DEVICE_ERROR? > I repeated the exercise with the "nss-3.10.tar.gz" and that produced > ..so's and executables that worked as documented.

The fact that NSS 3.10 works for you is evidence that your problem with NSS 3.11.4 is caused by the missing new files. Please let me know if transferring libfreebl3.so and libfreebl3.chk fixes the problem for you. Thanks!
