I was attempting to change root's default shell to bash, but typed in the wrong path. Now it won't let me log in as root. I tried to su in from a normal user but it says the user is in the wrong group to do that, and I can't do anything about the group because I can't sign in as root. Any suggestions welcome, I do have a little previous linux/unix experience. Thank you, Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
