A holdover from older glibc? Recent Slackware and RHs both symlink the nss files, as do older SuSEs. And symlinking them allowed the mysql_connect detection to proceed. As I'm about 8 hours behind on this install, I'll figure it out later. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event.
