I'm having some wierdness on a FreeBSD system. The scenario is this: I can
log in as a regular user. But when I issue an "su" command I get the
message: 

su: /bin/csh : No such file or directory

When I log in directly as root, I get the message:

login: /bin/csh : Permission denied

and I am returned to the login prompt. The thing is, /bin/csh exists and
it's permissions are 555 and it's owned by bin. How do I solve this one? 

Thanks.
