I was editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config on a box and made a mistake there which causes all connections to be refused... and to top it off I restarted sshd and logged off without checking that I can login with a different session... bummer.

Well, not too bad since I can just login locally, right?
Guess again; the device is normally headless and as I went down there to confront it with kbd&monitor I realised to my horror that the box only has dual-link DVI connectors onboard!
And I have only single-link cables!
arrgh!

So; countdown till tomorrow until I can fetch an adapter...
That whole thing has never happened to me fortunately

But DVI connector is a pain in the ***. I have meet them too many times. Luckily not that often anymore.

GL with your adapter tomorrow.
