Hmm, the man page of fedora 11 does not mention any problem with ldd. As a beginner admin I would say this is rather nasty and a good to know thing. I wonder how many other "its a feature" dangers are out there and thats exactly the reason why I think a developer should make a safety net.
I know running this or that as root is not smart, but then again, nobody can ever be sure they hire an admin thats not lazy once in a while. Even the administrator needs a bit of protection against himself :p Unless you think the only good administrator is a homo universalis ;)
