Cat /etc/shadow does not work. I can't copy and paste the error message
from the terminal window because the copy button is grayed out.
Basically, it said "permission denied" so I repeated it as sudo, and it
said "error while loading shared libraries libaudit.so.0; cannot open
shared object file; no such file or directory

I have always been in the sudoer list and never had a problem before.
