This is basically what the runsocks script does. Another example: installing a library that overides mktemp, tempnam and other dangerous library functions with more secure ones. So the feature is indeed useful. The correct behavior should be for the dynamic linker to give up at the first error. Alternatively you should be able to configure such libraries via the configuration file instead of an environment variable. You cant do so now as far as I can tell. > -- > Carson Gaspar -- carsonat_private carsonat_private carsonat_private > http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~carson/home.html > Queen Trapped in a Butch Body > Aleph One / aleph1at_private http://underground.org/ KeyID 1024/948FD6B5 Fingerprint EE C9 E8 AA CB AF 09 61 8C 39 EA 47 A8 6A B8 01
