Two things:
1. The upgrade of ssh is complete. The ssh on port 29 is still active.
2. We might wish to enable login as root. The reason for it is that
passwords delivered over ssh are vulnerable to the keystroke timing
sniffing. The reason is that ssh sends each letter one at a time and one
can eventually deduce the password from the time in which each letter
arrived.
