I saw you ;ater "happen to have a shell open from a laptop"
before I finished this mail, Congrats !

But in case others are some day in a similar hole, other ideas:

What about toor, did you set a password for it as a lifeboat ?	
(though 9.2 by default has no CLI specified, it doesnt stop a login, I checked)

Do you by chance have root priveleged amd & nfs from another box
(OK, you shouldn't if remote outside a secure net, but you might ;-) 
... if you do, then manipulate /etc pwd stuff
or cp in a local/bin/bash or simply ln a sh to bash.

If you have ssh keys intact for root ?
Repairing deviously with eg 
	rdist6 -P /usr/bin/ssh -f a-special-distfile-pointing-to-a-spare-bash-to-be-copied-in
Presumably also possible with rsync (but I happen to use rdist6 )

Did you leave any loopholes in 
 /etc/hosts.equiv
 /etc/shosts.equiv

Did you leave rshd, or rexecd enabled

Cheers,
Julian
