Nothing's been backed up from this machine - it's not a part of NIS, and isn't a production box either. Hence no disaster recovery concept applies ---- unfortunately! It's merely an IDS machine that sits there passively and sniffs traffic on spanned ports. No significant disaster will occur if it doesn't get fixed immediately; except for my 50+ hours of effort while configuring it, and precisely will miss all the passing packets till I get it up and running again. And on the top of that, I wanted to be stealthy, and wanted to figure out a workaround myself than making noise!


The only hope I had/have is to get connected to the box through iLO, or possibly make use of those basic commands to somehow copy those libraries back to the root. Really, all it needs is copying those libraries one directory level higher.
