Just to let you all know that the dummy pkg system works wonders for running
commands as root when you have no shell access.  All I had to do to restart
SSHD was to put this two text files in a dir by themselves:

A file called 'packaing_list' containing:

Package: Restart_the_SSHD
SCRIPT: upgrade_me
Version: 1.1.1
List File: Restart_the_SSHD
REBOOT: no

And a file called 'upgrade_me' containing:

#!/bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd start
exit 0

then you do this from that directory (make sure there is only those two
files there):

tar -czvf Restart_the_SSHD.pkg *

and then you install from the Maintenance>Install software in the GUI


It restarted the SSHD and let me back in, worked like a charm.  Thanks to
all, specially Gerald Young, for their help and guidance.
