chatr +s enable
This will enable libcrypto.sl to be dynamically linked and picked up from SHLIB_PATH for ldapdelete. This will need to be done for all the binaries under the
Once source binaries are modified with this attribute, they can be copied to another machine and they will still allow loading the libraries dynamically. Perhaps a
chatr +s disable /libcrypto.sl /ldapdelete
would disable dynamic loading. Need to experiment
