No. If you cant su, then you need to get (or get someone too..) the console, and reboot into single user. hit enter when it asks for what shell to use, to use the default of /bin/sh if you shut down cleanly (a three finger salute will do this, even without root access, unless you disabled it..), a mount -a should get everything mounted and usable. (mount -fw / will get / writable if mount -a doesnt...its been a while..) vipw should let you go in and set your root shell to /bin/sh (or /bin/csh..whathaveyou). get back to multiuser and reinstall that port, and you should be fine. later...david -- David Raistrick Digital Wireless Communications davidr@dwcinet.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
