Not by default. There are a number of parameters there, but when the applications initializes NSS, the values it specifies on the command line overrides it. There are ways to have that path override what the applications provides if you are using the sql: database (in which case secmod.db is replaces with pkcs11.txt), but not for the old secmod.db. > Does it need to be updated?

Yes, if you delete the file, the next time you run an application that opens NSS R/W (like firefox), secmod.db will be regenerated. > What are the consequences? > You loose any of the following settings: 1) any external tokens you have installed (smart cards, etc.). 2) FIPS mode. 3) any crypto configurations (like which token should be the default to handle a particular cipher). 4) certain password options (these are not used by Firefox, you would have to run another tool to set them).
