Can't loging because .basrc file messed up
Dear Friends,

I have messed up with my .bashrc file (something I have deleted) and now i can't login back to system..
any Idea..
I can do login with other login and password.. but I dont have root password because of security reason...
If I ask root then It will take about 4 -5 days to go through formal company rules...
any help.....please

One option I can think of is to investigate using a coworker's account to su into your account without running .bashrc. Depending on your security, this may not be possible.

Different OS's su commands allow for different options. I'd suggest specifying an option that allows you to specify a DIFFERENT shell from bash, if one is available.

Then rename your .bashrc to something else and provide an empty .bashrc. Then you should be able to log in to your account normally.

That's about all I can think of.

HTH

So you can login and only after that the su command appears not to be working?
