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
