It can be helpful in many instances.. ssh server? ( ssh into your dsl box ) betaftp server? ( ftp access into your dsl box ) ..anywhere a password is needed to login as user dsl ..
I frequently see the opposite occuring in the forums, where someone is using the betaftp or ssh servers for the first time, and fail to connect, because they don't know the password. It's usually because they haven't created one yet.
Relating to this thread specifically.. If someone wants to use DSL for a base to build a public server, kiosk, ftp site, webserver, then in the interest of security, strong passwords are recommended to be used for all accounts.
