IMHO a loadable module that is used by a program with dl*() has nothing to do with the dynamic linker, so /usr/lib/package seems the place, but this one (a LD_PRELOAD lib) _is_ to be dynamically linked with binaries by ld.so, so it seems /usr/lib is the place. Furthermore, if it is not there, you won't be able to make it link against setuid binaries at all (see ld.so(8)), which can be annoying. -- Jeremie Koenig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
