It's pretty obvious that the "knob" to use is the existance of the symbol in the shared library. I know this idea isn't popular, since a system with a corrupt /kernel is ever so much more likely to boot than one with a corrupt /libexec/ld.so.1. Not. As far as disabling goes -- don't you just say "rlogin -K" instead of "rlogin", etc.?
