Joe User may be stuck, phones for support, and support is then stuck having to 
give instructions to
novice for enabling ssh first over the phone >:-P

Have you tried to phone instructions to a novice to use the command line, and 
him reading back the

user/support people are
Spanish. It makes for an interesting time. Better have an antiacid ready, or a 
relaxing tissane
