Unix Permission Problem After a CPU Crash

[Del]

Thanks for the replies to this problem.  As it turned out, two files, the 
open order file and the order archive, were completely trashed beyond 
repair.  We could not back them up and when we ran fsck, it just deleted 
them.  We restored the files from his most recent backup (three weeks old) 
and are manually rebuilding them to the point of the crash.  Fortunately, he 
has paper records of all incoming orders, and we have other files in the 
system that have records of activity since the last backup, so we are 
optimistic about being able to manually recover the missing data (most of 
it).

This is the first time in twenty-six years that any customer of mine has 
actually lost data.  The customer admits that it is his fault for not moving 
fast enough to get the failed tape drive replaced.  When it rains, it pours.
