I've finally managed to get all sources to the machine via mounted SMB
drive that still works. (tar errors out).
But alas, make all install immediately throws the very same error
that started this topic:
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.7: Undefined symbol _nsdispatch
Very few commands actually work: cp, ls, cat etc.
So I'm afraid my only option is to try rescue from cd...
Thanks for your help!

Re: Server screwed up (/lib/libc.so.7: Undefined symbol _nsdispatch)
Actually I am running this without GUI (X is a luxury on this machine) .But if I restore it from the live CD I understand that all ports I have will be messed up? So my only option would be to go and install/reinstall all of them from the scratch? Building anything that needs Ruby for example takes like 24 hours on this machine :( Can you think of any way I could try to fix just the damaged part (nss/nsswitch)? Is there any place I could search for the backed up libraries (I think portupgrade would back them up first?). Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help!

Victor Starenky writes: Actually I am running this without GUI (X is a luxury on this machine) .But if I restore it from the live CD I understand that all ports I have will be messed up? You build ports on top of a working base. Now your foundation, aka the base has gone wrong. What you got to do is to get the base working again. Actually the first thing you should try is, to compile the base and the kernel (buildworld, buildkernel, etc) and install them properly. Check every stage complete without any error. If you can reinstall your base without any error, your base is working. Then you can rebuild your ports. If you cannot, recompile your base, ie. if errors develops, then copy necessary libs, etc. from the live CD till your recompile the base completes without errors. So my only option would be to go and install/reinstall all of them from the scratch? Building anything that needs Ruby for example takes like 24 hours on this machine :( This is your last option.

Sorry for the lame question. But how exactly would I go about recompiling the base?Could you point me to any articles/manuals about it? I'm just trying to understand which steps exactly need to be done and how to do it. Compiling everything would take me a few weeks on this machine :( Thanks again!

Re: Server screwed up (/lib/libc.so.7: Undefined symbol _nsdispatch)
That's restoring from backup that's non-trivial :PI'd take on the challenge of trying to restore just some pieces if you just point me into the direction of what exactly needs to be done. I'm not asking step-by-steps but rather something along the lines recompile kernel - here's the link on how to start. I don't want to abuse your help, you've already been very helpful! Thing is - I was in the process of building a new server to replace this guy but one not-so-happy day it didn't boot after unsuccesful update (that's Suse for a change). Meanwhile I wanted to keep mail and stuff running until I finish with that one. Now rebuilding this old machine would take weeks of just CPU time alone. I remember very well the process of putting everything up there in the first place.

Re: Server screwed up (/lib/libc.so.7: Undefined symbol _nsdispatch)
Hi Victor, /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.7: Undefined symbol _nsdispatch Specifically this is thrown when trying to login (after entering login name) on the console, ssh, ftp. This is also thrown for fetchor for ls -l (plain ls works). From the error message and from the diagnostic of ls working without the -l, I would think it has something to do with nss/nsswitch, the part that manage username, uid, gid and passwords. Hence problem with connection (ssh, ftp) mail (it needs to know the username) and even portupgrade that often need to check if a specific user exists for a specific port.
