Besides, when your favourite shell is hosed, you most likely cannot log
in anyways, since usually root login is disabled for sshd. And then
it's about the only case when it's getting tough.. when it's a machine
that's hosted somewhere in a rack at a hosing provider, probably one of
the most common situations today in business environments. When one has
physical access to the machine, it's a non-issue.
