The shell script is your problem.  If you aren't running 'sh' or 'ksh', whats
going to run your shell script?  What you need is a 'C' program!  Try this one.

Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip Here --------- Snip
/* rootsh.c
 * This program is a front end for ksh.  It prints a warning and then execs
 * Korn shell.
 */

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
        (void)printf("Warning: You are running a root shell.\n");
        (void)execl("/bin/ksh", "ksh", 0);
}

To undo what you've done to /etc/passwd you probably have to boot from floppy
unix and edit /etc/passwd.
