I'm a NetBSD newbie and it appears that I've made a very stupid
mistake. I accidentally changed root's shell to an invalid shell using
chpass and now I'm unable to su to root.
I have the correct password and the system accepts it, however, when I
attempt to su to root, I am immediately dropped back into the unpriv.
user's shell with an 'invalid shell'. The log does show a momentary su
to root, though..
Is there something I can do? I'd hate to lose the work I've put into
this install..
Thank you!
Nicholas
