CRISIS: libcrypt.so.2 not found....

My mail server got reset switch-rebooted inadvertently this morning. It
initially appeared to come up fine, but I'm getting the above message at
login--as in login requires, etc. I did an alt-ctrl-del and booted into
single-user mode and it appears some of what once was there (like
/usr/src, to name one) no longer exist!

I'm really pretty useless with this system any more--I've been on
disability for over a year and haven't been running but my one home mail
server, which I mostly just let sit there and hum.... Now, of course,
it's humming but not providing me, my wife, or my mother (the only
users) mail....

I have no idea how to proceed at this point, other than rebuilding the
system from scratch, which I'm kinda sorta loathe to do, especially as
my wife'll kill me if the mail from the last day that she didn't get off
the server is irretreviably lost. Any suggestions or am I hosed?

Thanks,

Bill
