16:48 <@thorsten> _rene_: thought nss can only use one path?
16:49 < _rene_> no idea, can't one initialize nss two times and use one instance for firefox and the other for that one?
16:49 < _rene_> I mean, there must be more application not relying only on firefox?
16:50 <@thorsten> we had similar issues with thunderbird vs. firefox cert stores,
16:50 < _rene_> mmh
16:50 <@thorsten> IIRC the suggestion was for users to set the proper env var,
16:50 <@thorsten> and we're off the hook?
16:50 <@vmiklos> or just set their preferred path in LO, using tools -> options
16:51 < _rene_> but MOZILLA_CERTIFICATE_FOLDER if you mean that will expect a firefox profile and not work with ~/.pki/nssdb, will it?
16:52 <@vmiklos> you would have to check, possibly both just contain files like certX.db and keyY.db, so perhaps works out of the box

16:52 < _rene_> ah, right, there's the "Options", didn't know
16:54 < _rene_> ok, related to this:
16:54 < _rene_> why does LO request w permissions?
16:54 < _rene_> r should simply suffice, shouldn't it?
16:55 < _rene_> or is this nss actually opening it? (I guess so...)

16:56 <@vmiklos> i guess ideally it should be read-only, right.

16:57 < _rene_> (with the chat here cut'n'pasted)
So one can set ~/.pki/nssdb oneself (but then the apparmor profile should probably be adapted), but
the default will not change in LO (see above).

Rene
