SUMMARY: corrupted ld.so.1

I was unsuccessful in fixing the corrupted ld.so.1 problem. I tried booting
from
cd and then copied /etc/lib/ld.so.1 over to /usr/lib/ld.so.1 and rebooted
the box
but the problem was still there (every command complained that it couldn't
access
ld.so.1). I had a tarball of /usr/lib and we then tried tarring that out
over the
existing usr/lib and rebooted, and that gave us a segmentation fault for
every
command after we rebooted. Eventually the box locked up completely and I
wasn't 
able to do anything on it. We had a SUN support tech come out to look at it
and 
he said that the problem was due to the fact that we had veritas volume
manager
doing disk mirroring. He said when I mounted the rootdisk after booting from
cd
and then overwrote ld.so.1, the mirrored disk was no longer properly
mirrored and
at that point it became impossible to recover the box. We ended up
reinstalling
the OS and all the apps. Not sure if he was right about veritas or not, but
at 
that point reinstalling seemed like the easiest way to get the box back up.
