The firewall choice takes you to a script that lets you open ssh, among other connections. So, you still get to configure. I typically select "customize" from the Firewall script top screen, then tab and use the space-bar to select the services I want opened such as ssh, ftp and web. Be aware that you have to say "OK" in the Customize sub menu and then again in the main Firewall script screen.
