CG>Oh boy. I need to recreate some devices but I don't know which ones.

CG>Let's say hypothetically (wink wink) I know this idiot who has an old
CG>box that he has gotten sloppy about maintaining, yet has a few
CG>dependencies on it (like his mothers website). Ohwww.
CG>
CG>Let's say he didn't upgrade his ssh on that box a while back when the
CG>ssh1 vulnerability was announced. Yes, he knows better.
CG>
CG>Well he got hacked yesterday. So while he was attempting to clean up and
CG>buy some time until he could migrate his stuff to another box, he
CG>deleted a few files and directories under /dev/ because the exploit was
CG>hiding there.
CG>
CG>He only remebers for sure about deleteting /dev/.xman and /dev/ida. I'm
CG>pretty sure .xman was just the crackers stuff, and /dev/ida has been
CG>recreated with MAKEDEV, but did delete a few things with the same
CG>timestamp of the time of the attack.
CG>
CG>Hoewever. After this brilliant move and a courtesy reboot after removing
CG>ssh, locking the firewall down further, etc, the external ethernet
CG>interface won't start. The error messages form ifup eth1 are
CG>
CG>SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
CG>SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
CG>SIOCSIFBADADDR: No such device
CG>SICOADDRT: No such device
CG>
CG>So I'm pretty sure some more devices need to be recreated. Does anyone
CG>know what ones?
CG>
CG>Please excuse me while I go beat myself ^H^H^H^H^H him some more.
CG>
CG>thanks
CG>charles
CG>p.s. please spare me the flogging. I know what I am doing is wrong, but
CG>I'm just trying to buy some time (about 2 weeks). At that time the box
CG>will be reformatted and repurposed.

Why not reinstall the dev rpm?
