It is possible (I don't remember) that the "toor" account does not
have a shell in the default passwd file. If that's the problem, use
vipw to add the path to a shell as the last field on the line.  The
"root" account should provide a good example, or look at the line for
your own user account. "/bin/csh" should work for recent versions of
FreeBSD.
