324742 - eccert.sh QA test script fails

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(NSS :: Test, defect)

Description

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

Vipul and Christophe both reported that the script eccert.sh fails when
attempting to generate the first self-signed cert.  While investigating
this today, I found several problems with eccert.sh that I had to fix
before I could get the test to run.  

The problem was that eccert.sh creates two files in the wrong directory.
Consequently, certutil cannot find the password and "noise" files it needs.

Patch forthcoming.

Hi Nelson,

   I'm still confused about what changed. Why is it that cert.sh
makes references to ${NOISE_FILE}  and ${R_NOISE_FILE}
instead of ${CADIR}/${R_NOISE_FILE}. Why do these scripts
have to be different in this respect now? I looked through the
CVS log for both files and couldn't figure it out.

The ecc test shell scripts are being worked on in antoher bug, 
so this patch/bug isn't needed.  Marking invalid.
