Kevin, It seems that you do not have csh installed on your system. You have two options: 1) Install csh so that you can get to root. Or, the hard way... 2) Drop yourself into single user mode, mount the root partition, edit your /etc/paswwd file and change the root login shell to a shell that you have installed, for example /bin/sh or /usr/local/bin/bash. Reboot the system and you should be able to get back to root. Although, I do find it odd that your system does not alreday have /bin/csh already installed.... -Burhan FreeBSD wrote: > Delivered-To: postmaster@swansea.cableinet.net > Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > From: "FreeBSD" <freebsd@datalinkwireless.com> > To: "Free BSD Questions" <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> > Subject: root Error > Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 11:47:17 -0500 > X-Priority: 3 > X-MSMail-Priority: Normal > X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000 > X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 > List-ID: <freebsd-questions.FreeBSD.ORG> > List-Archive: <http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/>; (Web Archive) > List-Help: <mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG?subject=help> (List Instructions) > List-Subscribe: <mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG?subject=subscribe%20freebsd-questions> > List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:majordomo@FreeBSD.ORG?subject=unsubscribe%20freebsd-questions> > X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG > Precedence: bulk > > Hi all.
