I was trying to see which shared libraries some of my executable in /usr/bin were using, and I accidentally exited my root shell after renaming /usr/lib to /usr/lib2. The problem is now that su, telnet and other utilities such as cc, rlogin do not work anymore. I fortunately have a few applications opened such as telnet whose executables won't work either. My question is: Is it possible to request and download an su executable that would be linked so that it looked in /usr/lib2 at run time instead of /usr/lib. Are there any other way to logon as root? I appreciate your response.
