Things may be different in other distros or versions. The way I did it was to include a simple script for someone on-site to run after booting into rescue mode, that would prompt them for a password and configure dropbear. I'd be on the phone with them anyway, so they could tell me the password and IP address. I could then get in and try to work out how much was left of their hard drives :-o Of course, if the hard drives aren't broken, you can mount the filesystems and use the ssh server from the OS. Or instead of booting an Anaconda disk in rescue mode, you can boot a Fedora Live CD and do whatever you like from there. Moray.
