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?

dump_sockdfr
DUMP_SOCKDFR(8) System Manager's Manual DUMP_SOCKDFR(8)
NAME
dump_sockdfr - Display contents of frozen route file for SOCKS server
SYNOPSIS
dump_sockdfr [infile]
DESCRIPTION
dump_sockdfr reads in a frozen route file for the SOCKS server and produces a listing of its contents on the standard output.
The argument is optional; if omitted, /etc/sockd.fr is assumed.
The frozen route file is produced by make_sockdfr and is essentially the memory image of the parsed route file. Using the frozen route file
can reduce the start-up delay of the SOCKS server program since it no longer has to parse the file contents.
When the SOCKS server starts, it always looks for the frozen route file /etc/sockd.fr first. If that file is not found, it then tries to
use the plain-text route file /etc/sockd.route. If you use frozen route file, you must remember to run make_sockdfr every time after you
modify the plain-text file or the SOCKS server will continue to use the frozen version of a previous route file.
FILES
/etc/sockd.fr, /etc/sockd.route
SEE ALSO
make_sockdfr(8), sockd.fr(5), sockd.route(5)
