Other NSS apps that fall under the category Nelson just described:
Dogtag, an open source certificate system (Base for RHCS, child of the
Netscape/iPlanet/AOL Certificate System).
http://pki.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PKI_Main_Page
386, an open source directory server (Base for RHDS, child of the
Netscape/iPlanet/AOL Directory Server).
Open Source projects that include an option to build with NSS:
OpenLdap
Libcurl
pam_pkcs11
openswan
Work is currently going on to give krb5 (kerberos) an NSS option.
