I work with a text mode debian6.0 and when I was testing some commands, I changed default shell to ash. System replied that it has not ash shell.so I thought the shell did not change. But when I start the system again and enter root password, I see a message like "can not execute ash. No such file or directory" and then system return to login page again. Root is the only user on that system.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI was trying to change my shell from bash to csh by typing "csh" and got this error "if: Empty if."
