Spec URL: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/directory/svrcore/releases/4.0.2/svrcore.spec
SRPM URL: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/directory/svrcore/releases/4.0.2/svrcore-devel-4.0.2-1.src.rpm 
Description: svrcore-devel is a library which provides applications that use NSS a standard way to allow PIN input
from a file or from the terminal.  There is also a PIN handler
that caches the PIN in memory after encrypting it with a key on
a device (such as a Fortezza card). This allowed a server to
restart without having to reenter the PIN. However since the PIN
is encrypted, a core dump would not expose it.  In addition,
removing the device would also make the PIN inaccessible.

It's only a devel package, containing only a static library and a header file.  It is currently only used by the Mozilla LDAP C SDK, but may find a wider audience since NSS is now part of Fedora Core and svrcore is very useful for some applications which use NSS.
