[-- Attachment #1 --] you may use 'toor' the root bash user >>> "Ian Barnes" <ian@cerebellum.za.net> 22:06:27 26-Feb-02 >>> Hi, I ssh into my FreeBSD 4.5 box using ssh. I wanted to change my shell from bash to tcsh, so i ran vipw, edited the file from /usr/local/bin/bash to /bin/bash (not thinking straight). Saved it, and exited. Now i cant get back in, because there is no /bin/bash. Is there anyway i can get root on the box?
