I can still log in on workstations using LDAP, run sessions on it
remotely using vnc but the ssh service refuses to start.

Ok so now I'm lost. What do the values after the ';' mean?
I tried to rename one to just libkdb5.so.4.0 to fix the link but I
get 'permission denied' (even as root).

Is there any way I can repair this without a rebuild?

Most likely some sort of file coruption. What I do in those cases is
first a simpe reboot. The shutdown and startup process often helps and
is faster then doing a fsck.

If that does not help, the next thing to try is fsck and the step after
that is to do a repair by booting from the 10.2 disk and selecting
repair instead of install.

So far I've tried all the above apart from the repair - I was hoping to
avoid this in case it f**ks up some of the configurations (LDAP, SMB
NFS ....). They're all backed up of course, it's just a PITA trying to
remember which config file to restore some are obvious but others not. Plus
I've got non-standard packages (from packman etc) on there which I'm not
sure repair will honour.

The other reason in trying to avoid the repair boot is that the server
usually runs headless so it means finding and connecting VDU, kbd etc. -
guess I'll just have to bite the bullet :/
