Thank you Neo, I do certainly want to do things the correct way, so I will research your recommendations.

/lib is definately a symlink. I figured that out logically because when I looked at it...

It does fail: "insufficient arguments..."

I tried to go in and now rename "lib_old" back to just "lib", but it won't let me because the symlink I just created is called "lib."Should I just leave it alone now?

Let me ask the Solaris 8...

I did exactly that DGPickett.

And it worked.I knew it worked immediately because the CPU has been near...

There is actually a symlink for lib in the root directory that points towards /usr/lib, but it looks to be broken now, because I renamed /usr/lib to /usr/lib_old.

I did not make that symlink.

I think you'r on to something!

I did this within file manager:

I also have some offical SOlaris 8 install disks.

Solaris 8 Installation, 6/00

But, like I said, I also have similar...

If that question is directed towards me, I don't understand what you're asking.

Is "/ disk" a typo, or unix jargon?

If I understand your question, the answer is no.

I renamed the lib directory while I was using WinSCP, then it sit for a few minutes while I did something else, and when I went back, it wouldn't...

Thank you, standing by (and googling).

Thank you so much everyone, this is all brand new to me, I was just trying to instal PHP on the machine and couldn't because I had to update libxml. I thought I read that when I update the libxml, it...

I have three hand-burned discs:

Solaris 8 10/01 Installation Disk
Solaris 8 10/01 Disk 1 of 2
Solaris 8 10/01 Disk 2 of 2

I don't know what 10/01 means...

You've got my head spinning Neo, thank you so much.

What OS would you recomend I use to put on this disk for my ancient machine?

I have a Sun Enterprise 250 (1998 vintage).

I was using WinSCP at the time, now I can no longer log into the server using or, or any other Putty-type program. I get an access denied message.

Notes:

I do have a copy of the lib directory on a windows machine.

My Sun Enterprise 250 server has a CD drive.

Let's say someone accidentally renamed the lib directory in Solaris 8, and now they cannot get into the terminal or even rename the folder via file manager.What would one do?

This is actually an embarrassing post to begin with, so I won't spell out the whole story and simply ask if there is anyone willing to help me with an old Sun Enterprise 250, running Solaris 5.8. It...
