Of course, ld.so isn't used by ELF programs to load shared libraries, ld-linux.so.1 is. ls.so is used only by a.out programs, so offhand, I don't see a problem with it being a.out. In fact, it might not work if it was ELF (I'm not sure of that lastpart) bash$ file ld* ld-linux.so.1: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 ld-linux.so.1.7.14: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 ld.so: Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC), stripped ld.so.1.7.14: Linux/i386 demand-paged executable (QMAGIC), stripped -- Buddha Buck [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacaphony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects." -- A.L.A. v.
