In the instructions (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. - Doug Thanks a lot for this explanation! That makes perfect sense. The fact that this link is created in both p11-kit and NSS is just because people may install the packages in different order. Hans
