mount
for freebsd, to change shells use 'vipw' (to edit default) or 'chsh' (change shells). Make sure the shell exists first or your user will not be able to login. Then, if that happens, see mount.htm. boot into single-user mode and type mount -u; mount; mount -t ufs -a and that will remount disks and partitions in read-write mode (important because editors are in /usr/bin/vi).
the mount command
mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=xsoemthingsecret,rw //winserver/theshare$ /mnt/samba
[root@hovey /root]# ls /mnt/samba
ls: /mnt/samba: Permission denied
