Hum ? Kernel processes using glibc ? I'm sorry, but I think you are mistaken on this one.
- If glibc is updated, you must reboot to have many processes use the
new glibc.
This can be acomplished without the need of a reboot.</SNIP>
Yeah, now that I reread it, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. I do know that we had a machine that had been up for YEARS with processes each running various versions of glibc, but looking back, I think the reboot was done because it was easier that identifying each process and restarting them in order.
