What's wrong? Some operating systems (for sure Solaris) have restrictions on where shared libraries are located for setuid programs. This is due to security issues. (Imagine putting your own private copy of libc in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH before the system libc while running passwd.) Again for Solaris, I think the shared library must be in /lib or /usr/lib. You might want to double check your documentation for this issue. Regards, Scott
