Thanks again, Brad For the future, I find it useful to have headless boxes set up for serial console attached (or attachable) to a modem. Saves the drive. Doug.

I'm a bit rusty and duller than I once was :) No problem. Put in the boot media you used to install OpenBSD and boot with it. At the (U)pgrade, (I)nstall, (S)hell prompt type 's' for shell. Next, you can "really" fix the problem. Maybe someone else will tell you how. I'm going to tell you the first short way that comes to mind... # mount /dev/wd0a /mnt # cd /mnt/bin # cp ksh tcsh # echo /bin/tcsh >> /mnt/etc/shells # reboot # rm /bin/tcsh -- Darrin Chandler| Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation

I've done something stupid
Somehow as root, I changed my shell to a non-existent shell '/bin/tcsh' on OpenBSD 4.2 When I try to su, I get this error: su: /bin/tcsh: No such file or directory I can't login as root, ssh in as root or su to root. I'm not in the sudoers file (but I am in the wheel group) so I can't sudo chsh for root. Any suggestions. I just set the box up today. It's been years since I used OpenBSD. I'm a bit rusty and duller than I once was :) Thanks, Brad -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/I%27ve-done-something-stupid-tf4775501.html#a13660801 Sent from the openbsd user - misc mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
