However, in my particular case it seems that my blunder of running ldconfig -v (and not ldconfig by itself as I had assumed - my bad) is sufficient to render it impossible to log in as my regular user account since I had set my default login shell to bash. That, in conjunction with root being disallowed by default in sshd effectively locked me out of my machine once I closed my only open ssh session. Modifying my original suggestion slightly, is there any reason why it would be a bad thing for ldconfig to assume -r when either -v with no other arguments (or no arguments at all) is passed to ldconfig or is there some specific reason for the current behavior?
