sshd is disabled on the live media itself for various reasons. Few
people would want to ssh into a live session. Root has no password.
Live user has a known password, etc. 

I'm not sure why the installed system has sshd disabled, I would think
it would be enabled on the installed version. Possibly a anaconda bug?

Each spin sig decides on their own which services they want enabled on 
their spin.


That said perhaps because majority of desktop users dont even know what 
sshd is and leaving it on leaves them open to brute force attacks on a 
system that does not inform them when that happens.


Administrators can always turn this on.

sshd and LiveCDs

2012-12-20 Thread Ed Greshko
I don't normally install from LiveCDs but I did so today to get KDE without 
GNOME.  I was surprised to find that when all was installed that sshd service 
was disabled.  Does anyone know the logic behind that choice?
