root access is flat out available to any computer on my network with a
simple reboot of the computer from a button push and a livecd drop in.
Please . turn ssh on by defualt. the livecd users of the world will
benefit from it. OR .. at least turn it on once it goes HD install.
this way at least we can shell into the box and do some configuration
without hauling cables around to eyeball what's going on..
YOU have physical access to the box. Fred down the road who has network
access to the same space that your Live box is on does _not_ have physical
access, yet with ssh on could have root level access to your running
environment.
