Please , do not change this.

In engineering environments ssh is used all the time. In our company
it's essential in several manners. We use it for user/server support,
remote login, fish:// files from other machines and we also use the NX
desktop solution extensively.

So , please. Do not change this for the sake of a few newbies. It does
not bother them that it is there, but it certainly would bother us if
it's not there.


Kind Regards
