This works with Mac OS X 10.4.11:
Quote:
[~] # niutil -read / /users/frozentin|grep "shell"
shell: /bin/bash <--- I removed this below
[~] #
[~] # niutil -destroyval / /users/frozentin "shell" "/bin/bash" <---- this is the value of "shell" from above command
[~] # echo $?
0
[~] # niutil -insertval / /users/frozentin "shell" "/bin/ksh" 0 <---- Here "0" is the index. You want a known good shell at "0".
[~] # echo $?
0
[~] # niutil -read / /users/frozentin|grep "shell"
shell: /bin/ksh
