Hi,
Just 20 minutes ago I mistakenly typed an error directory address for root's default shell and exit. After I want to login as root again the command line feedback an error message
The path for sh shell should be /bin/sh but I mistakenly set it to /bin/sht, which was the original of the issue. Later, I could not access the root privilege because the default path was wrong and my default user did not have root privilege. After searching via bing.com for a little while, everybody said it should be fixed only by rebooting and entering the single user mode. However, after rebooting into single user mode, next issue came - I did not have write privilege of the / directory, as the / directory was read-only.
Someone said by this command the / directory would be turned to writeable,
However, after running this command I got below message:
Finally, I got the fix but some searching:
Step 1, type and run:
where ada0p2 is your hard drive where FreeBSD installed.
Step 2, type and run:
After these two steps (under single user mode) the / directory should be turned into writeable from read-only mode and you should be able to use chsh command to correct the default shell path for root, by:
You could check the present default shell directory by:
THE END
