- On SunOS 4.x.x:
- I've heard a lot of horror stories about mistakes with libc.so replacing and
- how dynamic library loading programs die real quick if you tamper with their
- library.
-
- What is the right/best way to replace a libc.so with your site customised
- version? I dont want to have to go find the installation tape everytime
- I attempt it. Do I use 'cp' or 'cat mylib > /usr/lib/libc.so' or what? Im a
- bit worried that a context switch will happen halfway through it and bugger
- it all up.
-
- How would you guys replace it?
-
- Any hints welcome.
