I dont know what I did, my BSD box has not been rebooted in a while so it could have been anything in the past few weeks! The last thing I was doing was adding users. But now I can not log in as root! I get an error "login: /bin/bash [-login]: no such file or directory I have no idea how that [-login] got in there but I suspect that has something to do with it. .I tried to remove it from /etc/passwd but ofcourse I have to be SU to do that and I can not SU for the same reason I can not get root. Obviously I am fairly new at this... but any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance corinthian420@hotmail.com _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
