I am new to unix and foolishly changed the root accounts shell to a non-existant one (/bin/bash). Dead, dead clever - I know! So the problem now is that I can't login as root nor SU to root and therefore can't change my shell back. Is there a (relatively) simple way to change back to a shell which actually exists...?
