Hi Anith:

My advice to you is to re-install your operating system from the installation media; download current patch bundles from the ITRC and learn your lesson. It appears that the damage done may be wider than you realize. You may end up spending more time chasing on-going anomolies than a re-installation session will take.

You don't say how or what was deleted. Was the 'root' acoount used by an inexperienced administrator? Had you or someone else made the directory permissions of '/usr/' something (stupid) like 777 ? Remember, if you have write-access to a directory, you can remove files from it.

You need to perform a post-mortem examination of the actions leading to this disaster. The absence of an Ignite Recovery tape (or network archive) is perhaps the gravest error.

Regards!
