Subject: Suggestions for and questions about ssh-host-config
Mime-Version: 1.0

Hi,

suggestions first. About the newly created sshd NT account and user for 
privsep:

- I'd love an  /ACTIVE:NO  option added to the net user command. I have 
tested this, it works well. I'd much prefer a disabled account to an active 
account with no password. Okay, no password, so no remote access, but at 
the same time: No password!
- Along the same lines, I'd much prefer /bin/false to /bin/bash as the 
default shell added to the /etc/passwd entry for sshd. Again, I tested it, 
it works.

And now my question:

If sshd is still running, ssh-host-config displays a message asking for it 
to be shut down first, then continues. The exit 1 statement has been 
commented out. Is this deliberate, or a holdover from testing?

Regards
Shawn
