The only hickup is that there aren't cd's of NeXTStep they can boot and
get a shell. AFAIK anyway. The install cd only installs. If they can't
boot single user and get a shell they'll have to mount the disk on
another NeXT box and edit the files. Still, it's pretty dang basic unix
sysadmin stuff. Scary nobody at CERN could do it.
