Hi,
        I have been running Debian Testing for the last few days.

        Just a few minutes ago, I have noticed that I could no longer log
in as any user. 
        That is, I cannot even log in as root from the console. The system
was not connected to the net.

Luckily, I have one root shell opened, so I could still do
things like apt-get get.

        but I can't do su or sudo ,etc. it always returned me error
message:
 
You don't exist, go away!

I have checked my /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files.
they are in the right format.

any help would be much appreciated.


Bow to me for I might be root.
