some recent testing on a 'sandbox' machine has raised an interesting question... One of our techs, in fiddling with this machine, seems to have deleted some key files; at least part of the /etc directory as well as - at least - some of the devices directory...
Probably easy enough to fix, if it were a critical machine, with a 'fine-tooth-comb' approach. But, as an academic question: What facility does openSolaris have for repair in such a situation? Is there, effectively, a 'repair existing installation' function as an option to installation? Is there a way to mass query the package database and contents, and somehow determine what's missing? What strategies would the experts recommend in such a case to maximize uptime? I know, a far-reaching question, but thought it might be worth posting here. Have never run into this, but it may be a reasonable question for a real environment at some point. (I know, don't give the new guy full root access; I know, I know!)
