You edited /etc/passwd? I use vipw to make changes to the passwd file 
(regarding root anyhow). You should never edit /etc/passwd or 
/etc/shadow by hand. Add ksh to /etc/shells, also add csh, sh, and any 
other shells you might want to use. If you can't do this (i.e. you 
can't get root) I would reboot into single user mode, which I belive 
defaults to /bin/sh.

Hi,

In my /etc/passwd file (ssol 2.6) i changed the login shell
from "/bin/sh" to "/bin/ksh" and now i can not log in as "root"
but can log in as a user that has "/bin/csh" in the passwd file?.
How can i fix this problem?.

Any help is sure appreciated.

HM
