No problem. Put in the boot media you used to install OpenBSD and boot with it. At the (U)pgrade, (I)nstall, (S)hell prompt type 's' for shell. Next, you can "really" fix the problem. Maybe someone else will tell you how. I'm going to tell you the first short way that comes to mind... # mount /dev/wd0a /mnt # cd /mnt/bin # cp ksh tcsh # echo /bin/tcsh >> /mnt/etc/shells <eject boot media> # reboot <login and fix your shell to be one of the installed ones> # rm /bin/tcsh -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
