Hello, I have 2 suggestions that I believe will increase both security and usability: (1) split the ssh packages into client and server parts (2) have an ssh client installed as default It is absurd that someone who installs an ssh client should find themselves running an ssh server. I would like to see most desktops in the world running an ssh client, but only a tiny minority should be running ssh servers. The current situation could lead to people who have installed ssh so that they can access remote servers securely finding their home computers have been compromised because they unknowingly run an ssh service. The second suggestion is just to make my life easier...part of my job is to explain to people how to install ssh clients on their home machine, and the less they have to do the better.
