Maybe you typed rm -rf  /usr /bin/sonething by accident. See the space after usr.

Perhaps it was a semicolon outre a cracker.

I don't remember removing any directories whatsoever. It would have had to be pretty specific to remove sbin, local and share all in on command.

Very confused :)

Login as root and type

  history

might give a clue?

Ah, I always forget about history. The only thing I can see is

sudo mv * /usr/*

IIRC that was me being lazy moving some flash debugger plugin. The fact that I obviously was doing something to /usr/ probably means that it was me after all. I still don't know how that would remove directories though...

Cheers,
