I had the same problem...only in addition to some other symptoms.  All the
e-mail domain aliases were removed.

The SiteManage directory can be rebuilt using a script called fixsite.pl
(attached below - careful of the wrapping) obtained from somewhere in
cobalt.  I apologize, but the exact usage I'm not sure of at this point --
if you need more info, let me know and I'll see if I can find my notes!  Sun
did this before I knew this script existed and our service was pooched!  The
home site you need to create manually by issuing the following as root:

[root /]# ln -s /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/siteManage/home
/usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/siteManage/ip.address.ofyour.raq

This made all the siteadmin pages work again.

The easiest solution I could find to getting the e-mail domain aliases to
work was to manually go into each domain (we only had 50 at the time) and
re-add the aliases.

Hope this helps...

At the time, SUN Cobalt support didn't know of this problem and I didn't
realize what had caused it.  But now that you say that (deletion of a site),
that is what I had done a bit before I realized these problems.  They said
it usually occurred when the root (/) partition filled up, but that
obviously wasn't the problem with our system...
