    Are you wanting to recover those files?  If so, you might want to try using
    a utility called TCT to recover those lost files.  There are some great
    examples on using TCT if you read through some of the papers on
    http://project.honeynet.org

    Subject: INODES: recovering a file in a particular directory
    
    
    Hi,
    
    This is with a Solaris 8, on Ultra 5, with UFS.
    
    I have a compromised host, which shows  a recent /usr/lib/ modification
    date.
    
    I assume that something was added to this directory, however, after a
    thorough check,
    I am led to believe that whatever was added was also removed.
    
    Would the file being /usr/lib narrow down the number of inodes i have to
    search
    through. I seem to remember that in UFS a new file gets added to the same
    cylinder
    group(if possible) as the directory is in.
    
    Sincerely,
    
    Ovanes
