Oops... For some reason I sent my reply to Maxim only, and not to the list.
There's no need to reboot to fix such a trivial problem.
su has "--shell=SHELL" option, at least on my Linux box.
run su --shell=/bin/sh
and then edit the password file as you wish.
Haim.

Subject: root shell changed.
Hi list.
Some guy here changed by mistake the shell of root user to something
nonexistent.
Now every time he tries to su to root, he is trown out with the massage "no
shell"
Is there a way to correct the problem?
