Hi there,

I hope I don't bother you too much with a very basic question. I am
the author or rsyslog - http://www.rsyslog.com - a syslogd replacement
aimed, among others, at security. I am about to implement native TLS
support for it. I was referred to either NSS or GnuTLS and have so far
settled on NSS based on the good arguments in Red Hat's crypto
consolidation.

I have now spent some time on the doc (granted, not enough yet for
sure) and the samples. What scares me a bit is that the samples
contain lots of references to the portable runtime. Rsyslog itself is
heavily threaded (via posix threads) and I can/will not modify it to
rely on portable runtime features. I hope that's possible ;)

So what I am looking for is a simple sample / intro / howto on how to
make a tls client talk to a tls server via NSS with the least amount
of portable runtime support. Most importantly, for my use case, NSS
must work when the threading is provided via posix threads.

Can someone point me to such a sample or doc? And maybe comment on
using NSS together with a heavily pthread'ed application.

Any feedback is deeply appreciated.

Thanks,
Rainer
