It does seem pretty odd - why do I have to explicitly enable ssh during installation? In previous releases, sshd was always active. To anyone with more than one box, sshd is a must - to anyone with only one box, it doesn't do any harm. On most users machines (I estimate 95%+), the firewall is enabled and the ssh port not open. For them sshd running is useless and just costs startup time and resources. Reasoning yes, but not very good, IMHO.
It seems entirely legitimate to me. If you know what SSH is, then turn it on.
I think it's quite interesting (read: silly) to do such "optimizations" on one end of the spectrum (single-user PC) when we do e.g. LVM and RAID improvements (something the single-user most probably has little or no need for) on the other end.
I think LVM offers huge advantages to the desktop user. -- OpenGroupware developer: awilliam@whitemice.org http://whitemiceconsulting.blogspot.com/ OpenGroupare & Cyrus IMAPd documenation @ http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/wmogag/file_view -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
