for those  of us with dsl installed to the hd its worth a look at the file on your favorite editor. by default the file comes with "permitrootlogin" and "X11forwarding" set to yes, should be changed to no to plug  up a security hole.
on another subject whats the situation with dsl and wpa encryption for wireless?? thanks for comments.

Sshd is not running by default, so there's no security hole by default either..

wpa_supplicant is included, and works with ndiswrapper and some native drivers.

The config file differs by card. Use the -c option:

Here is an example, that I got working a year ago.

ndiswrapper -i NET8180.INF
ndiswrapper -l
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 essid my_network_essid
wpa_supplicant -B -Dndiswrapper -i wlan0 -c /home/dsl/wpa_supplicant.conf
pump -i wlan0

Also, even with sshd running, unless you give root a password, you still can't log in with root over ssh.
