[EDIT: Google Translate]Good. I have a problem when entering red hat linux 5, I did not take any user who had registered. Then he entered the console and was blotted to / etc / passwd "x" that came with: x :: :: so if I'm not mistaken, that's the encrypted password .. So now if I login with root, but users are not manageable. Is there any way to recover the / etc / passwd file? they are grateful.[/EDIT]
Buenas .
Tengo un problema, al ingresar a red hat linux 5 , no me tomaba ningún usuario de los que tenía registrados. Entonces se ingresó por consola y se le borró a /etc/passwd una "x" que venía así:
::x::
por lo que si no me equivoco, ese es el password encriptado.. Por lo que ahora si me ingresa con root, pero los usuarios no son manejables. Existe alguna forma de recuperar ese archivo /etc/passwd??
se los agradecería.

The 'x' in the /etc/passwd file means that an encrypted password is stored in /etc/shadow for that username.
