WOW, this is a major issue. Not because it's SSH, but because it's the MOST INSECURE SSH setup I've ever seen. Just tested scanning my local area network running a Trisquel box. It runs on a default port with password based authentication (no KEYS!). What this means essentially is any script kiddie in the world can run a dictionary attack against all your local user accounts and gain remote access to your files.

Writing the developer mailing list about this seriously messed up default right now.......
