[Sunhelp] root login problem

[Sanjeev Jha]

If you have another superuser login, vi /etc/passwd and change the shell from /bin/ksh to /usr/bin/ksh (I think that's the correct path in Sol 7, check by typing #whereis ksh).
If you don't have any other superuser, You have to use the method Marc Pelzer mentioned here.

good luck
Sanjeev
