I had the same problem w/ hamm. When I first installed, I pressed
for the root password to make setup/config easier

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! W
Out of curiosity, does this problem machine have an /etc/shadow file? I'm
thinking shadow passwords may be turned on (via shadowconfig) but that
/etc/passwd doesn't have the corresponding 'x' value in the password
field.
Just a guess,
Brandon

Well, that would mean that root has no password and has /bin/bash as its
shell.
Also, the critical /etc/default/rcS lines show
SULOGIN=no
FSCKFIX=yes
and the fstab entry for the boot drive shows
/dev/hda2 / ext2defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1

After the potato surprise in unstable (oops--I should have
watched more closely), I tried to downgrade to slink again. The
slink base images would not fit on 1.44MB disks, so the hamm
base floppy images were used.
The base images were installed over the existing file system.
