But the filtee doesn't get loaded unless the filter is referenced, right? Or does ld.so.1 load even filtees unless -z lazy/RTLD_LAZY? I'll ask around about moving libgss into /lib. I don't want to bother with CD/miniroot sizing issues if that's likely to cause others heartburn. > Why not fold rpcsec.so.1 and libgss into libnsl :-) Well, libgss can't be folded into libnsl, not unless we leave a libgss filter around. And most uses of libgss don't come from libnsl. So I'd feel uncomfortable about folding libgss into libnsl. Thanks, Nico --
