For god's sake: NEVER replace a "libc.so" onthefly
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2005 12:40 pm
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 -
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?
