I hope you have a backup....
Mmm, if it's *only* /usr/bin, and you have another machine, why not just copy the directory and contents over from the other machine? I just checked, btw, and on RHEL 4, there's /bin/tar, so that works.

Thanks all,
I'm back online and I didn't even have to turn the machine off. As it
turns out I lost /usr/bin and part of /usr/lib. The saving grace was a
very similar machine and I still had a ssh session running. I tar'd
everything from the second machine onto a cd-rom and untar'd onto the
broken machine.
Lessons learned:
You *can* mount a cd-rom even when /usr/bin is gone...that rocks!
You *can not* mount a USB drive...maybe that will change over time.
Concerns:
I'm sure there are several things that will be out of sync particularly
the rpmdb and perl modules.
