"Root Directory Not Found"

[James Wu]

Rant: I'm quite a newbie to the BSDs, having migrated recently from the Linux's, and have found the consistancy I have been looking for throughout all the Linux distributions. This is my dream operating system!


Critical Question: After following a couple security guides (namely
http://defcon1.org/html/Security/Secure-Guide/secure-guide.html
http://draenor.org/securebsd/secure.txt
http://sddi.net/FBSDSecCheckList.html
http://people.freebsd.org/~jkb/howto.html), I believe I have locked out all my non-root accounts. Whenever I try to login, it spews back

Root Directory Not Found

and after 2-3 seconds restarts the login. Can anyone give me a pointer to what config file did this?


None-critical Side Question: I looked around for the smallest shell possible to run my chat clients from (X is far too much for my system to handle) and "cat /usr/ports/shells/*/pkg-descr | grep small" returned me esh. However when I change the shell to esh the shell puts out a "$" and immediately terminates. Searching for documentation for esh on google proved to be a failure, so does anyone know how to configure esh to "stay" after it starts up?


Thank you,
J.W.
