And people say it's OK to change root's shell.  :)

If you can log in as your regular user do this:

su -c /bin/sh
chsh
change your shell back to /bin/sh or /bin/csh.

If you can't log in, or can't su (Because you aren't in the wheel
group), boot into single user mode and change your shell back to
/bin/sh or /bin/csh.

Good luck.  :)
