Yunpu's Sun World: Sun Campus Ambassador Canada

Note: I use Solaris 10 x86.

To customize my solaris environment, I tried to change my default shell to bash. When I modified /etc/passwd, I inputted a wrong path for bash. After I logout, I can not get back to system, because I changed root's passwd. How should I do?

I use the boot cd to boot my system, and then choose single user mode. After "#" pompts up, I am in a mini boot environment which is provided by boot cd. Then I

# cd /

# cd tmp

# mkdir mnt

# mount /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 /tmp/mnt (mount the root device and then modify it)

# cd /tmp/mnt/etc

# vi passwd (change root's shell path back to the correct one)

# init 6

When I login back to the system, "Invalid User Shell. Login Rejected" disppears and I succeed in loginning.
