Description

[kashyap chamarthy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042708 Fedora/3.0.10-1.fc10 Firefox/3.0.10
Build Identifier: 


  -W option(to change password of the key database) is not listed when we do a certutil -H 

But the functionality do work fine, if we try to change an existing password of the nss key database by using
certutil -W -d /home/user/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxx.default/

this was observed on version -> nss-tools-3.12.2.0-5.fc10.i386


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just do a certutil -H

Actual Results:  
 -W option(to change password of the key database) is not listed

Expected Results:  
-W option should be listed when a certutil -H  command is issued.

A user wouldn't know of this option unless he/she visits the mozilla nss url.

I thought I had previously reported this bug, but I guess not.

Fix usage

When displayed, the following line exceeds 80 columns.
>+    FPS "%-20s Name of token in which to generate key (default is internal)\n",

(also, that line suggests that "internal" is an acceptable value for the 
option argument.)

Nelson,

I just copied and pasted this from the help for -h for other commands. I don't really read it as suggesting that this is a valid value. But it could be changed to say "the default is the internal token" instead.

Also, re: the 80 columns, there are at least 10 pre-existing instances of other lines in the usage that exceed this width. I don't think it shouldn't be a requirement.

Forward duping since Bug 571242 added the text.

Note: the commit message for Bug 571242 incorrectly states it is for Bug 571274.
