That was a great piece of sorcery! Thanks for help!

These are my observations ;-). I [am trying to] use sorcery-devel.

My laptop is hosed now because of this mount problem. Also, there is a 
problem with my pam_ldap on the laptop, which started with GCC 3.2, but 
didn't propagate to my GCC 3.2-enabled server somehow (thank you, Oh 
Mighty Penguin!). pam_ldap 150 refuses to compile for unclear reasons, 
152 (latest) refuses because of automake (or autoconf?) incompatibility. 
I can only login as root, and I had to remember to kill an empty 
/etc/securetty to be able to do that.

Also, rebuilding glibc seems to reset /etc/nsswitch.conf to defaults, 
which is bad because I'm using OpenLDAP to store all user accounts. Had 
to get it back to normal before I could login again.

--Sergey.
