I mean /root as in "root user's home directory".  A number of directories
are gone from the root partition (/) including /etc, /sbin, /share, and /lib. 

What tools would you recommend?   I'm not a system admin... I just play
one on TV :-D   I've hear of "tripwire" or something like that but I'm 
not sure how it works if the sytem is not already protected in advance.

Thanks,

Eric
