    Hi gurus,

    I have a problem on my Solaris 10 x86 box. Everything was working fine,
    and then.... (!)

    1: I added /usr/local/bin to my path in the /usr/dt/config/Xconfig file.
    NB: THIS IS THE ONLY CHANGE I MADE. I know I should have changed the
    /etc/dt/config/Xconfig file instead, by the way... My mistake. Realised
    far too late! :-(
    2: I logged out to renew my login session
    3: Upon login, I now am getting the error: "Invalid user shell, login
    rejected."

    I get this same error message even if I try to login using the failsafe
    session option, as root or as a normal user. I have tried to log into
    the command line login, and I get ""No shell" and a new login prompt.
    This happens as root and as a normal user.

    Is there any way I can fix this? help! I need to get to work that is on
    this machine!

    Regards

    Ben
