Well, I can google the file names for you and try to answer, but I
don't have suse9. And I have no experience with these packages.

I was under the impression that most if not all linux distributions[1]
dump everything in /usr, not /usr/local, so it may be someone's
hand-installed work that got nuked. The OP unfortunately gives no
information regarding that possibility.

May be you are right because, as stonefish was saying i checked in
other box having suse9, but /usr/lib/local to restore same files from
that box, but it was empty. Also one of my other colleague told he was
installing some perl packages(for eg. Net::SSH) which resulted those
files. Because those packages uses encryption/decryption algorithms to
send a data, may be those files are required of the perl packages, its
just a guess.

It will be worth digging into suse's package system; make it list
the full paths to all files it thinks it has installed and see if
any are in /usr/local/lib. Then de/reinstall those packages.
Will try.

Do you have another box with the same setup, if so just copy the
directory.

Or restore from backups.

Thanks stonefish, Thanks jpd for your kind reply.
