This was meant to be a linking issue. If the OnLine utilities (especially the SUID root ones) are linked to use shared libraries, those shared libraries must exist in /usr/lib (or a symlink to them must exist in /usr/lib). So, if you are playing around and removing symlinks from /usr/lib, be sure to check that the OnLine utilities still work. Yours, Jonathan Leffler (johnl@informix.com) #include <disclaimer.h>
