Have a look at what BSD does. >/bin an /sbin contains statically linked binaries :-) I have at least 10 shells open. Unless I am greatly mistaken, running 10 static bash's would be quite severe on memory use. Of course it would be very handy to have a package that provides a static bash, and come to think of it, maybe there should be one. But to replace all binaries in /bin and /sbin with static ones, is IMHO simply too much, and it would only pay its use in weird situations, which are, again IMHO, solvable just as well with shared binaries. - -- Konstantinos Margaritis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBNxslz/alfJok8qABAQE8rgP7BWdYYtjypNnzh4ag49frtzgSymfMOQkH 0Z0gfoSrVrWH1GxdCeYon8WbyX6dLvEI08gUQ63Ybljz2OIGfSG0VOa8al5xIb4S +1U9G2ASd3tsch1w5/H5taqovwjILqBUCk+2MyHM02eBoDApwKZuX3VyMZKH/NMj 9b7DmKB5rGU= =bL07 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
