Hi, In XrdSysPlugin.cc, dlopen() is only called with the RTLD_NOW option. This is causing problems for something I'm working on. I'm currently implementing LCMAPS authorization for GSI which needs to: 1) Load the libXrdLcmaps library (which is linked against liblcmaps) [DONE] 2) Call the lcmaps_init function [DONE] 3) lcmaps then loads its plugins. For some security reason (which I don't know), the plugins are not linked against liblcmaps itself but use its symbols. Normally, step (3) is fine because the liblcmaps symbols are in the global namespace. *However*, since xrootd loads liblcmaps without the RTLD_GLOBAL option, the liblcmaps symbols are not available and the dlopen fails at (3). What's the reasoning behind not passing RTLD_GLOBAL? Or has it just never come up? Brian
