sbin/ldconfig elfhints.c ldconfig.8 ldconfig.c
Log:
If a directory is world-writable or is not owned by root, skip it
and emit a warning. This is a security measure since ldconfig
influences the shared libraries used by all programs.
I think the check should be made even more stringent by also
ignoring group-writable directories. I will make that change soon
unless we encounter a good reason not to do it.
