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.

Which indicates another wrong headed tendency. Rather than securing services and restricting them from operating on some adapters, we throw a firewall in front of them and to hell with in-application security. A properly configured linux machine does not need a firewall. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
