Agreed :)

Did you compile ssh with uClibc ? If so please let me know how.

Iptables uses dynamic loading for nearly all functionality and I haven't found a way to make
it link statically.(judging from the Makefiles and the init code in each libipt file I don't
think it's planned) Have any of you tried to compile iptables ? Or is it maybe possible to
compile libdl with uClibc ?

Ipchains would be much simpler (I think) but there seems to be some network functionality
missing.(It can't find getnetbyaddr) And the original in glibc is to complicated for me to
try to use.
