Why?  Doing it remotely is exactly the same as doing it
locally....especially if you're using a terminal or PuTTY and doing it
with CLI.  I usually skip the phone call and just ask for root access so I
can do it myself.  (Then I ask them to change the root password back to
something else when done)  Seriously though....don't be afraid to reset
the ldap database remotely....it's not big deal.  :-)
