[buug] Lost root access

[Skip Evans]

Hi all,

I've really hosed myself this time.

Someone else installed bash on my machine, but it got installed
in /usr/local/bin.

I assumed it had been put in /bin
and did a chsh on root because I need to compile a port that requires
root to be using the bash shell.

So when I did the chsh on root I gave it /bin/bash for the new shell.

Of course, you can guess what happens now. When I try and su
to root, after entering the password, it says it can't find /bin/bash
and then drops out.

I have no root access know. Anyone know how I can fix this???

Thanks!
