i cannot login as root

[terietor]

hello,

my system has 2 users the user "terietor" and the root user.

after a failed upgrade of my system with portmaster,i can't login as root
but i can login as terietor.
root was using the csh shell and terietor was using the bash shell.

P.S.:when i login as terietor i see this symbol "%#" instead of
"user at localhost:~/"


thanks in advance

Did you try to change root password in single user mode?

 

[terietor]

i tried to do it but i can't..

i gave "passwd PASSWORD" but it said that the enviroment is for read-only.

When get to # in SUM did you do like this:

# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# passwd

?

 

[terietor]

i will try it.

 

[terietor]

i gave

# mount -u /
# mount -a -t ufs
# passwd
#chsh -s /bin/csh

and the problem was solved,thanks
