Re: [Pki-users] certutil: unable to generate key(s)
Thanks!
Fixed the -d option.
Now I'm getting:
Enter Password or Pin for "NSS Certificate DB":
I did not set this Password/PIN. All the docs reference tksTool. I don't want to fubar
more things but it looks like the following is needed:
tksTool -N -d .
I assume the tksTool is part of pki-tks.

Side note: the i/o error happens because of the missing NSS db files,
either wrong alias directory with -d, or need a certutil -N -d <path> to
create them.
