Having done the equivalent of losing my root password: at login I get "/etc/spwd.db: No such file or directory". I've tried the single user boot, but I never get prompted for the shell choice. As the system starts there is a line: "export: SHELL#: bad variable name" I obviously don't understand the relationship between the passwd file and whatever /etc/spwd.db is. Any help is greatly appreciated. Bill Slaybaugh To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
