I applied a hack to rhost.inc.t to return a custom host for a specific IP belonging to a paranoid user who thinks that someone will find him and do bad things to him if they know he is connecting from ri.ri.cox.net and doesn't reveal his real name.

Anyway, I couldn't get the hostname in his posts to update, so I ran a theme rebuild, consistency checker, and then I compacted the message files, something I had never done before. When I did that, ALL my messages disappeared. The contents of my "messages" directory is this:

[root@host5 messages]# ls -al
total 1260
drwxrwxrwx    2 apache   apache       4096 May 20 18:41 .
drwxrwxrwx   13 apache   apache       4096 Sep 13  2005 ..
-rw-rw-rw-    1 apache   apache         14 Sep 13  2005 .htaccess
-rw-rw-rw-    1 apache   apache    1270375 May 20 18:41 private


My hack to rhost.inc.t is: (assume 127.0.0.1 is the actual IP and User is his actual username)
        if ($ip == '127.0.0.1') {
                $name = 'User.is.paranoid.com';
        }

        return $name;
}


We are running a disk utility to try and bring back the files, but is there anything else I can do?
