Resolves: bug 439829
Bug Description: simple password auth fails using NSS 3.11.99 or later
Reviewed by: ???
Files: see diff
Branch: HEAD
Fix Description: The new softokn in NSS 3.11.99 and later requires that
the server calls NSS_Init() after forking, but before detaching from the
controlling terminal.  In fact, this was always a requirement, but the
softokn in older NSS allow it.  However, it's possible that some
hardware crypto devices do not allow this and may not work with older
directory servers.  The fix is to move the nss/ssl initialization so
that it can be called at the right point, or from other points in cases
where the server does not fork (e.g. db2ldif).
Platforms tested: Fedora 9 i386, RHEL5 x86_64
Flag Day: no
Doc impact: no
QA impact: should be covered by regular nightly and manual testing
New Tests integrated into TET: none
