+.PP
+This documentation is still work in progress\&. Please contribute to the initial review in
+\m[blue]\fBMozilla NSS bug 836477\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The verification Tool,
+\fBvfychain\fR, verifies certificate chains\&.
+\fBmodutil\fR
+can add and delete PKCS #11 modules, change passwords on security databases, set defaults, list module contents, enable or disable slots, enable or disable FIPS 140\-2 compliance, and assign default providers for cryptographic operations\&. This tool can also create certificate, key, and module security database files\&.
+.PP
+The tasks associated with security module database management are part of a process that typically also involves managing key databases and certificate databases\&.
