No, the use of NSS in static binaries should work perfectly. What could create problem is loading and unloading of shared objects and this is what should never be done. I really wonder why you come up with the idea of a static NSS. This is not possible. NSS modules could be coming from a third-party package (e.g., there is a LDAP NSS module). You wouldn't be able to use it. -- Uli ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
