1. See if you can pass a shell to ssh. "ssh box.domain.tld
/usr/local/bin/bash" might do the trick. I'm not sure if this works,
so don't sue me for it.

2. Plug in a monitor + keyboard, and log in as root, fix the problem.

No sane person would allow root logins from ssh, or telnet, so unless
you want to / can r00t your own box, you'll need physical access for
this option.

Bart
