I have some issues with files /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow. Both of them are without permissions:
---------- 1 root root 1357 Aug 5 11:30 passwd
---------- 1 root shadow 1175 Aug 5 11:30 shadow
And i don't know how this happened or why. Basically I can't edit/remove these files or change permissions when I am logged as the root user. It ends with "Operation not permitted". Eg. when I try:
root@server:/etc# chmod 600 passwd
chmod: changing permissions of ‘passwd’: Operation not permitted
The main issue is that any logged user has "I have no name!@..." in the command line and I can't use "su" or run some services as an another user. I guess these files should have some permissions and that's the problem. My system is Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS with the newest updates.
