For god's sake: NEVER replace a "libc.so" onthefly

Post by ^rooker »

ok... so now I've learned it the hard way:

I wanted to replace a suspected-faulty "/lib/libc.so.6" with a different one, knowing to work fine.

the result was that sshd immediately disconnected me, because the whole machine froze - :shock:
I can't even login now anymore (not even locally), so I'll have to fire up something like knoppix to copy "/lib/libc.so.6.org" back to where it belongs.


great, huh?
