Hi Rob, >Have you tried stracing the sulogin you have built. Mine doesn't do that >much, it opens /lib/libcrypt.so.1 and libnss_compat, etc. I guess yours >will be different. but I don't know if it will stand alone completely. Turns out you're right - libc and libnss_files were being opened. What do = I need for them to be statically linked, a .a file? Cheers, Roger
