Pardon my daftness, but how is a 'file' against, say, httpd, like this, file /usr/local/sbin/httpd /usr/local/sbin/httpd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped going to tell me whether httpd was dynamically linked against OpenSSL, or statically? It just tells me httpd uses shared libraries. Or does it mean it ONLY uses shared libraries? Thanks, - Mark
