All -

I was wondering ideas on how to gain control of linux boxes with physical access to them in the hosting facility.
The owner has code on them yet never bothered monitoring or gaining root access and her developers are blackmailing 
her. She has access the the hosting facility and the servers and backup staff yet needs to regain control of the 
servers.

If she has physical access, then she does not need anything else (other than a competent Linux person).
