Yes, see my other message on that. :) What I am not clear on is in that file if you set it to no it looks like it wants to make a pass through the system undoing anything that was prelinked. Not sure if it does this each and every time it runs from then on or just that one time. BTW: prelink almost caused me a small heart attack a little over a year and half ago on a new system that I setup with tripwire. Had it all set, modified policy and all. Next morning big major flags raised all over the system. Thought someone had hacked it at first but finally tracked it down to prelink changing all those executables and libraries. Note from now on that tripwire is NOT prelink aware. :)
