Hi there,

I backup my ubuntu systems to a WDC mybook.  I am trying to figure out 
why I can no longer ssh to the box.  After a bit of review I find that 
my /etc/shadow is empty.

I added a new user.

Now my /etc/passwd is empty with the only one user - the recently added 
user.

I still cant ssh to my mybook.

what is a suggested cure here please.

Cheers,

Noah
