No. sshd has always been disabled on the live cd since it doesn't have a

Wouldn't it be better to have sshd configured to either:
- block root logins
This seems to be the default on some UNIX's (or, at least, it's true for
some of the machines I work with, though it's possible that IT set it
up). I'm indifferent; I might re-enable it (though, since I can su also,
I might not), but I don't mind making this default.
- block logins to accounts with no password
This is different from passphrase-less keys, right? If so I'd definitely
vote for this. It doesn't need to be exclusive with disabling root
login, though.
