Nope.  See I recompile bash and though I copied it over to /usr/local/bin (I
guess I didn't) and then did a vi /etc/passwd and changed all the account
(except root) to point to the 'new' bash.  Either it didn't copy over right
(or I copied it to the wrong place) or I missed typed all the shells for
those accounts.  The only account at this point is root.  I do have 'r'
access to a couple programs like rsh and rlogin, but they don't like working
to well without a shell.

I tried doing a

/bin/rsh host.domain.com /bin/sh

but it gave a permission denied.  If I do a /bin/rsh host.domain.com it asks
for a password, then fails with a "no shell" error message.
