I vote for: disable but installed

Hi,

We are thinking about disabling the ssh daemon by default.

Reason is that it most desktop users do not use it all
and it is just taking away memory for those, and also
presenting an attack surface once the firewall is disabled.

Also its is blocked by the firewall from remote by default.

Reenabling it would be as simble as:

insserv sshd
rcsshd start

We are still undecided whether to do so or not.

Ciao, Marcus
