I attempted to change the shell for root on my SPARC-20 by editing /etc/passwd. I changed it to /sbin/csh instead of /bin/csh and now cannot login as root because of the invalid shell. I have booted from my Solaris CD in single-user mode and am attempting to mount /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0 (the location of the filesystem containing /etc/passwd) on /tmp/root. I get a message
"mount:/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0 is already mounted,tmp root is busy, or the allowable number of mount points has been exceeded." Are these the correct steps or am I missing something? |

Sorry if you've already tried this, but do you have 'su' installed? If so, log in as a regular user and su to superuser and make the shell changes.

I was able to mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 on /mnt and vi /etc/passwd. All is well!
