Dear Folks! 1. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Everybody! 2. Alarm! (or BEDA! in Russian :) Please help! Situation: Accidentally I've changed root shell to *non-existent* one. vipw honestly warned about it. I stupidly missed the event. Evidently I can not login neither as root nor as su now. I rebooted the box into single mode (boot -s) in oder to correct my mistake with vipw. BUT In single mode / is mounted in my system as readonly! And I can do nothing with ``writable tools'' like vipw. Ideas? What should I change for mounting / as RW in single mode? Please send mail to mns@lpi.ac.ru because I can not even start my home uucp to get mails (including FBSD ones) from my Institute :( Specifics: FreeBSD 2.1 (great System, really) Thank you in advance, best wishes, Maksim. --- Maksim N.
