Re: [opensuse] 11.2 - what was the reasoning behind disabling sshd by default?

Not all settings are right for you, not all are right for me.

I completely accept that - I just dislike changes that gives me more
work, in particular when they bring no noticeable improvement for the
group of users they were intended for.

Nevertheless, apparently my sister did not have any troubles with them
(she would not even know what she can do with this s-s-h whatever
thingy...).

And had s-s-h-whatever been started like it has been in every release
since 6.x, she would not have had any trouble either. Hence a change
that has brought zero improvement for your sister, but a new annoyance
for me.

Additionally, people are always pushing to faster boot times.
Disabling the not obvious needed services to achieve it is certainly
not wrong. (Think about desktop computers, not servers; even there,
you will probably get a higher ratio of desktop:server)

Surely sshd isn't part of the critical path in getting the GUI login
screen up and running. For me boot time is not a concern, but I do
appreciate that it is for others. Given the steady trend towards
multiple core CPUs, I would suggest increased parallelization instead
of reduced functionality.
