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.
Also its is blocked by the firewall from remote by default.
Reenabling it would be as simble as:
insserv sshd rcsshd start
We are still undecided whether to do so or not.
Well... it would be ok to disable, as long as you provide a "one click enable" that can be explained over the phone to someone whom you are supporting ;-) Another desktop use scenario: the desktop machine hangs, then we try logging in from a nearby desktop machine to try unlock it. Then you discover that ssh is not enabled... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
