I'm in the process of building p11-kit from BLFS 9.1. I have not

In the instructions
(http://linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable-systemd/postlfs/p11-kit.html
<http://linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable-systemd/postlfs/p11-kit.html),>), in
the section 'Configuring p11-kit' instructions are given in order to
create a symlink to use the p11-kit trust module as a replacement for
libnssckbi. The same symlink is explained on the NSS instructions
(which I have not installed). Please clarify: does this apply for
systems (i) which have NSS installed, (ii) which don't have NSS
installed, or (iii) either way, independent on whether or not NSS is
installed?
Thanks a lot,
Hans
Hi Hans,
As far as I know, these instructions only apply to systems that have NSS
installed. You should be OK to continue without that symlink - although
if/when you install NSS, you may want to use that symlink to allow
NSS-aware applications to have additional access to certificates.
