</div>I vaguely recall, that netscape for some unfathomable reason, took a<br>
very different approach to security and nss, between [sol8 and sol<br>
10?]<br>
<br>
One of them attempts to compile, and does actually deliver in the<br>
package, a completely separate [lib*nss*solaris*security*] or<br>
something, and one does not.<br>
It gets dynamically linked in to the "main" nss lib, and is a critical<br>
dependancy, if i recall correctly.<br>
