The server is co-located, so serial cables aren't an option. Thanks for
the advice tho!

The weird thing is that after logging in on SSH and getting the error
message, there are *some combination of keys* that allows execution of
BASH commands. I just wish I knew what they are.

Typing random combo's of backticks, ampersands, letters, spaces etc will
eventually give feedback: "-bash unrecognised command".

So it's still listening, and there must be a trick to it so I can
perhaps re-create admin's home directory?  Any idea where I might look
for that?

I think it's the case that SSH will allow me to execute one command and
then exit, if I specify it right. SSH isn't locking me out, nor is the
shell..it's merely giving me an error that's strange to get out of.

Thanks again, appreicate *any* ideas!

Log in via the GUI if you can, turn on telnet and see if you can telnet in. If so, see if you can recreate your directory so you can go back to ssh.
