So I can get a better handle on what you're trying to drive at
Bruce, let's use the /bin/login program as an example.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~ > ldd /bin/login
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libmisc.so.0 => /lib/libmisc.so.0 (0x4003b000)
        libshadow.so.0 => /lib/libshadow.so.0 (0x4004c000)
        libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40063000)
        libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x40091000)
        libpam_misc.so.0 => /lib/libpam_misc.so.0 (0x4009a000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4009d000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401b3000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

How does the libpam.so symlink factor into *any* requirement of the
login program?
