I created a new security database with modutil, added a root module to it and then attempted to generate a key using certutil and received an I/O error:

# certutil -G -k rsa -g 1024 -d .
certutil: unable to generate key(s)
: An I/O error occurred during security authorization.

I took a guess at the problem and set a password for the db using:
# modutil -changepw "NSS Certificate DB" -dbdir .

and then it worked fine.

Is this something that's fine the way it is or would you prefer (is it possible) to have it actually say the password is the problem?
