I'm sorry if this has been covered before, but is there source code available which would allow me(root) to edit a directory file directly? The reason for this need is that every once in a while either inews or xbbs fries a directory entry. This is rare, but the process of tar'ing a large file tree and rm -r'ing it and then untar'ing it is a little tedious when I can see via hd exactly what the problem is. The fsck utility does not catch this particular problem. Thanks for any help... -- Steven P.
