I'm using often sshd in my daily work on my workstation.

If ssh is to be removed as "default enabled" then an easy one step
install and configure option is needed in the network services section
of the install.

My network here relies totally on ssh for login, backups, file copy
etc., both on servers and workstations. One reason for this relience on
ssh was because openSUSE had it already to go. No additional packages to
install, no mucking around with configurations, it was just there and
worked.

However I do change the default port on all machines so the firewall in
my case needs to be modified anyway. But I usually do the mods to the
ssh config and firewall over ssh before restarting the service and
logging in again :-)
