Hmm, doesn't work all the time:

thoreau:~ 649% ls -l /usr/local/bin/machine_name 
-rwxr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  4302 Jan 10  1994 /usr/local/bin/machine_name*
thoreau:~ 650% ldd /usr/local/bin/machine_name 
/usr/local/bin/machine_name:
        -lc.2 => /usr/lib/libc.so.2.1 (0x4001a000)

Anything older isn't dynamically linked :)

Simon.
