Brandon, that's it! I had noticed the same lack of the _x_
in the /etc/passwd file. After putting one in and rebooting,
voila! It's fixed. Thank you. And BTW, /etc/shadow was all
there. As for the missing _x_, I have no idea where it went, and
I did not remove it manually.
Wow! What a lesson on this system...learned alot. Thank all
of you for your replies, because each reply taught us something.
