Actually, chflags is linked static (except my version of course). >Oh, another thought.. from a root login: ># /bin/mv /usr/libexec /usr/libexec.fubar ># /bin/mkdir /usr/libexec ># /bin/cp /whereever/ld.so /usr/libexec ># chflags noschg /usr/libexec.fubar/ld.so ># cp /wherever/ld.so /usr/libexec.fubar ># mv /usr/libexec /usr/libexec.fresh ># mv /usr/libexec.fubar /usr/libexec This shows that the chflags on ld.so is mainly to [prevent] shoot[ing] yourself in the foot.
