Sorry, broken language. I meant that on server only safe way
is mounting / read-only to keep out of unrecoverable file system
errors and do not allow usual writes at all (mount -u -w / when it
needed). Hold static compiled sshd somewhere in /sbin so we can login
in after any crash (we assume, that read-only / is not affected) and
do repairs.
