ADMIN: Wonky server

[Nick Arnett]

We're running on a somewhat crippled server because a few of its 
essential binaries are seg faulting, suggesting that we're building up 
to another disk failure, perhaps.  It's been up and down today as I've 
been trying to fix the broken parts.

If anybody here has any insight or suggestions on how to deal with a 
system in which grep, chmod and ln are all seg faulting, I'd love to 
hear them.  I never realized how essential grep is to Linux.  And 
without chmod, I can copy grep from elsewhere, but then can't make it 
executable!

Sadly, there's no "reinstall everything" that I can come up with, and 
individual re-installs seem to be failing.  This system is running RH 9, 
a/k/a Fedora.

BTW, it's running now because I can boot from a system CD, then chroot 
to our normal system and start everything manually.  Ugh.
