Lines: 8 Message-ID: <32A7AF66.49FF@li.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: jauerbac.dialup.access.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; I) I changed my root shell to /bin/ksh not thinking at the time that the ksh was actually in /usr/local/bin. Basically I cannot log in as root or su anymore because of the lack of shell. How can I fix this without rebuilding the system. I want my rootly powers back. Jeff Auerbach jauerbac@panix.com
