Hello all I made a very stupid mistake: I've set root's shell to /sbin/nologin. I know it's stupid, but I didn't recall how to prevent logging on directly from the console. Now, I'd like to change all this and get my shell back. Can I start my computer in single user mode (and how?) and how to vipw from there ?
