We should have some user interaction when enabling SSH in the Sharing

I enable SSH on my boxes at home just so that I can access them from, e.g.
my phone. They're on a closed network, so the security risk is minimal even
with a weak password (I use keys anyway). I'd not want to be forced to
change my password just because I've enabled SSH. Could we not just warn
users about their passwords and leave it up to them to do something about
it instead of enforcing a stronger policy?
