Hi,
I have downloaded the source for 3.12.9 which supports the DRBG. The
fipstest tool which uses the private interface for random number generation
which calls from ~lib/freebl/drbg.c.
I notice that for a DRBG input file (got from DRBG) consisting of input type
Hash SHA256_DRBG, the generated bits does not match what is predicted by NIST.
The fipstest.c correctly reads and sets the various parameters from the input
file correctly.
I am trying to do a sanity check before using the NSS api. We are looking at
an option to install NSS manually (since the default shipped with RHEL 5 uses
libsoftoken for 3.11.4).

you need cmd/fipstest which calls drbg.c.
