root/users accounts locked/disabled every reboot?
Why does it happen and how to solve?
Thanks!

Hi all
Working with a Linode for some months now, and it seems that I did something wrong and can't access the root (or others) any more:
1. can't see any relevant logs for some reason (via lish)
2. changed password, just in case, and still nothing
3. I changed one row in /etc/passwd, but I could have crapped it somehow - could it be it? couldn't find how to restore it to a previous version or any default stuff
4. Could sshd_config somehow changed?
5. I tried to sudo several times and got a "who are you" message. Could it result in a lock out after several tries?
6. also tried to chown www-data on the www directory. Couldn't do any harm, right?
7. It worked well until I tried to run these lines.
Please please advise and help
Thanks! (
