I've had that sysadmin problem.

Somewhere in the two six-storey buildings of a tv broadcaster. Additional fun: the system was running spam-filtering software that relayed all incoming mail and was failing. Still ping-able though. And since nobody had any passwords, I needed physical access to get in.

Finally found the likely suspect in a small, locked 19" cabinet. No keys... Only time I needed a hammer and a screwdriver to restart a daemon.
