hey all,
somehow, through the web admin interface when trying to delete just one - just one!! - user, every user was deleted, including root. is there a way to resolve this or will i need to uninstall and then reinstall?

Get another rootfs, then mount the first one, chroot, and create new users.

don't know what the webmin interface will have done, you can try restoring /etc/passwd from another rootfs but that may not solve the problem.
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?
