It is possible (I don't remember) that the "toor" account does not have a shell in the default passwd file. If that's the problem, use vipw to add the path to a shell as the last field on the line. The "root" account should provide a good example, or look at the line for your own user account. "/bin/csh" should work for recent versions of FreeBSD. - Bob
