Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Anyone, I had just changed my shell (to bash) which I assumed (yes I know) was there because I had added it during the initial installation. My son interrupted me, a movie caught my eye, an hour or so latter BSD had autologged me out. Needless to say bash wasn't were it was suppose to be in /usr/bin ( because I hadn't had time to check it before I was logged out). Now when I try to log in as root with the right password BSD tells me that bash isn't in /usr/bin and loops me back to the login prompt. I tried booting single user mode but that only allows me to check the filesystem and look around (ro), so I can't change anything. No, I don't have a fixit disk or emergency boot disk (bad boy, get in the corner and don't come out until you repent). I swear if somebody can get me back in I'll correct the oversite immediately and never let this happen again. If you haven't guessed - I new to FreeBSD. Keith keithl@gil.net
