Key word in this case is "avoiding". If some bad things sits in ld.so why=
=20
not fix this directly ?
Also strange thing IMO is in this case is nologin static linking. Yes I=20
know about ssh pass LD_* but IMO fixing this by static linking is=20
incorrect way because this is only next "avoiding" ..
