Just to put my 2 cents in. Excellent point Jeremy, the more people
who provide the feedback to Apple the better. We are seeing
increased ssh brute-force attacks NOT against server class machines,
so it is becoming more and more important to harden ssh, even on
client machines. Trying to convince end-users of good password
hygiene is almost impossible.
