Good question. We had a discussion awhile back on whether SSHing into an instance broke the line between black and white box testing. We had people on both sides, but the discussion was tabled for a bit while we dealt with other issues. It's definitely something I'd like to talk about again. I'm doing some SSHing in the dev branch that I work from and find it fairly useful.
