mistyped shell path, now i can't login as the only user that can su to root
i mistyped the location of bash and now i can't login as the only other user who belongs to wheel on my freebsd box.
since i'm having many problems with samba, this has frozen my attempts to get things resolved with the former issue. i've been told that 'su -m' should do the trick, but it's not. can anyone tell me what to do here? |

Boot off a boot floppy, mount the partition with the pw file and edit the shell path..... one way to do it.....
Another way.... Take out the hard disk with the misconfigured file... mount it on a different machine and edit the file.... etc. |

Be more specific
try to be a bit more specific... but it sounds like you are using Freebsd(could be wrong) so reboot the machine into the single user mode, then mount the root partition and edit the password file to reflect the actual path to the shell in question... and if my assumption was correct... /usr/local/bin/bash
Hope this helps BSDimwit |
