I know I'm going to get flamed for this but I did something stupid and now I'm
stuck. I changed the default shell for user root by editing the /etc/passwd
file by hand. the problem is that now I can't log in because I have a typo
and the system can't find the shell. Is there any way to get into the system
from the console so I can fix this problem ?
