that is possible indeed, jk_init has defaults for the /lib/libnss* 
files, but indeed not for /lib/64/ or other places where libraries could 
be installed. libnss_ libraries are plugins, so ldd doesn't report them.

are those directories on all 64bit platforms the same? then I could add 
them to jk_init.ini
