I made a mess. libc

[Fleuriot Damien]

As per Devin's suggestion, I just set up a RCP server from which you'll be able to grab libc.so.7 using /rescue/rcp

I'm gonna need, in private, your IP address so I can add you both to .rhosts and firewall rules.


I'm leaving work now so I may not answer again before 2-3 hours.
