    Due to an errant command during a security-tightening process, I have
    a Solaris 8 box that has had all of the Other Write bits turned off
    on the special files in /devices.

    Is there a reasonably easy method to get Solaris to regenerate
    /devices from scratch?

    I've tried "touch /reconfigure and reboot" - no dice - doesn't seem
    to regenerate something that's needed that's already there.

    Suggestion: how about nuking /devices and /dev from a script as the
    last thing the OS does on the way down then boot -r?

    Any quick help appreciated -- we're about to reload the OS after two
    days production-down. I'll summarize as necessary.
