It is neither, it is just how Debian does things. Most users don't need an SSH server installed, and that only opens up their computers to outside attacks (Now I wonder why other distros even had it installed), which is the most probable reason why it was removed. I mean, how many people use SSH servers on a daily basis (I bet loads do, but I'd assume most don't). And how many people actually run a server on their local computer (Besides Apache, which I'm sure almost everybody runs). Putting an SSH server into a new installation without an iptables configuration is really begging to be attacked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
