Hi,
We are thinking about disabling the ssh daemon by default.
Reason is that it most desktop users do not use it all and it is just taking away memory for those, and also presenting an attack surface once the firewall is disabled.
Why not combine it with the firewall setting?
IIRC there is already the option to open the SSH port in the network setup during installation so simply start sshd when the port is opened there.
+1 Users who use ssh will in general know about the firewall etc. too, others probably shouldn't have it enabled. Having said that - surely the memory footprint must be fairly small, and ssh security bugs are fairly rare ! ;-)
Or make an extra item in the network setup for SSH just like for VNC (or combine those two).
Combining them makes sense - my argument above applies here too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
