I see, I would have had to do the powerdown in any case though since I
couldn't su.

BTW, I could have sworn that the behaviour of the SunOS ldconfig when used
without any parameters was to refresh the cache leaving the paths in hints
even if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH env var wasn't set.  Ours clears the paths
instead so I lose X11, /usr/local/lib, etc.
