Damn, what was I smoking when I wrote that? I wonder if there's any more... (j/k, smoking sucks :) There are a lot of libs in /usr, so you'd have to restart X (whole whack of stuff in /usr/X11R6/lib), sshd (libcrypto in /usr/lib), log out of all ssh sessions (libcrypto again), and certainly other things. All that stuff wouldn't get upgraded all at once, so it's not like with libc. Ah well, I should get more sleep... -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
