How to determine them ? bruno >I would imagine you could also do a: > >mv /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1.bak >and then copy the new one in, as that leaves existing processes pointing >at the old one since it is not just written over (I believe one of the >install flags does this also?).
