What should a user do if he has gone into NetInfo Manager and deleted all the entries in the "users" directory except for the current user, which is not root? Of course, NetInfo Manager doesn't work anymore and OS X keeps crashing because all the permissions are broken. Is there a way to manually replace the system accounts? The deleted accounts are:

daemon
mysql
nobody
root
smmsp
sshd
unknown
www

Doesn't OS X have something to prevent "authenticated" users in NetInfo Manager from deleting the system accounts without actually being the root user?
