Or, maybe he's the proud new recipient of a rootkit? -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Scully Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2007 1:20 AM To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: RE: / files accidentally deleted Kim: Most are in other directories, not the root (/). Maybe you don't have the prefixes set to find them. If you still have /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin and /bin, you probably haven't deleted the bulk of the utilities. The ls command is found in /bin. Can you type /bin/ls and have it work? The other possibility is that you've somehow had some utilities get their execute permission removed. They won't process if they don't have execute priviledges.
