Why does "factory settings" not include scanning the built-in system
library path /usr/lib?  From the man page, it would seem that if I truly
wanted to remove all runtime information I'd want to run something along
the lines of ldconfig -s.  Am I misreading something?

Also, under what circumstances does -v actually do something?  I can't
seem to find a case where -v actually alters the output of ldconfig.

Regards,
