Been there, done that, I sympathize with you. The proper way to have done that would be: Install bash As root, type chsh That will open vi, or your configured editor. Then change the shell line to: /usr/local/bin/bash Alternately, you can, as root, type: Chpass -s /usr/local/bin/bash root This aviods opening vi and the editing I mentioned above. As far as recovering from this problem, I'm kinda a newbie myself, when I did that, I finally re-installed. Maybe someone can point you to the easy way to fix it. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
