#9459: sshd enabled by default ---------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: bbjimmy | Owner: darkwyrm Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Servers/services_daemon | Version: R1/alpha4.1 Resolution: | Keywords: sshd Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 0 | Platform: All ---------------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by siarzhuk): Replying to [comment:2 bbjimmy]: > It is generally considered to be a security risk to have an unrequested network service open by default. Is there a valid reason to have an ssh daemon running on a desktop computer that has just one user? Have you already hacked freshly installed Haiku in this way? ;-) It is development platform and developers sometime need any available way to access systems with locked UI or dead graphics hardware to find the source of problem. Disabling sshd now dosen't help to improve security but make more problems in developing Haiku. -1 -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9459#comment:3> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
