Hello

There is my situation: I had a disk crash and after the repair I have
found out that some directories are missing.

syslogd is telling me that the following files/directories are missing
var/log/messages
var/log/messages
var/log/authlog
var/log/secure
var/log/deamon
var/log/xferlog
var/loglpd-errs
var/log/maillog

Questions:

Is there a way to find out the group owner, file owner and file
permissions for those files/directories?

Is there a way to find out if there are any other files/directories missing?

Is there a tree of my actual hard drive stored someplace? (i dont have a
backup)

If I slap OpenBSD 3.5 CD in the drive will it recreate the missing
files/directories without having to reinstall my accounts?

Is there an option that I am not aware that would solve my problem?

Thanks in advance
Leopold SA

Not really, but you could perform an upgrade.

Some files are backed up in /var/backups.

It is time to upgrade to 3.7; 3.5 is no longer being supported with
patches.

DDS-2 tape drives are quite inexpensive on ebay.com.
