Shell problem?

S

SI_KH

Hi

I do not know where to ask this question :)

My system with FreeBSD was working fine. But today when I started with it did not to log on phase.
It was shown:

Code: 
/etc/rc.conf:24:syntax error:Unterminated quoted string
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:

Why it happens?
I am not familiar with shell. :r
What must I do?
Thanks...
 
You made an error in /etc/rc.conf.

Press enter to get the shell.
Code: 
adjkerntz -i
mount -u /
mount -a -t ufs
swapon -a

Now you can edit /etc/rc.conf and correct your mistake.
 
Hi SirDice

I did the things you said.
But now how do I correct my mistake?:(
Is it possible that you introduced me to a file or ducument about shell?
I want to read it...
My information about the Shell is too low...:(
 
@SI_KH: Post your rc.conf file.


@sk8harddiefast: You can easily color filenames in green like this: [file]rc.conf[/file]. No need to use the longer color tag.
 
Thanks

There was a Bug when I used vi command Several days ago...
But now, with your help, the problem was solved.:e

Not to push using a third party port but it may be helpful to install editors/vim-lite and turn on color. With that set up it's easy to catch when you make an error such as the one mentioned. Once you get comfortable with editing using the system vi without color will become second nature so consider it sort of training wheels for now.
