:i never said it would increase or decrease the security of the
:superuser account. nor did i say it was detrimental to the
:person installing it.

:what i am saying is that i dont see any real point in making
:the change. if you want it enabled. do so after the installation.

I'm afraid I don't understand your point. If without-password
makes sshd useful to a larger subsection of users without effecting
security on the original subsection, why wouldn't you want to make
the change? Just because it may not make a difference for YOU doesn't
mean that it wouldn't be a useful change to make.
