Why exactly would this be ON by default? I know the system is reliant on OpenSSH but it being open doesn't contribute to it in any positive way.

I'm unsure if this is a regression in 20230628 but it should probably not be there. I expect this will be fixed by larger refactors planned before the next release

#40 this has always been the case for the live image because there was some opposition to disabling it by default.

this is related to this thread where sshd is running on the installed system too

my thoughts are basically that #333 and adding a service enablement page to the installer will ensure that this will only happen when the user wants it to

I continue to oppose disabling ssh in the live image. I do support keeping SSH disabled in installed systems until a user deliberately wants it activated (it's the first thing I enable before rebooting from the installer, on my manual installs).

updated title to be more specific about the unexpected behaviour. SSH enablement in the live environment itself was never in question here

Abby corrected the title. The question in mind was about SSH being enabled on an installed system, not a live image. My apologies.

We may even allow root login via ssh for the live image, because it is not hidden very far away anyways.
I use log via ssh on hosts that have no console.

there is no reason to allow root login via ssh
