Re: fileutils static

[Brad Van Orden]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the reply.  The problem is that I have two Solaris 7
systems which are supposed to mirrors of each other.  However,
one is has its patches much more up to date than the other one.
If I do an ldd on ls it shows 3 libraries.  Two of these I have
moved into the chrooted environment.  The third, I'm not sure I
can, it is:

/usr/platform/SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine/lib/libc_psr.so.1

If I ftp in and do an 'ls' on one machine, it behaves normally.
On the other, it only shows files and not directories unless
I use 'ls -l.'  The only difference is the libc_psr.so.1 file.
That was one reason I was trying to get away from shared libraries.

Thanks,

Brad Van Orden
