Thank you for the advice ;-)

I prefer

[root@example.com sumtec]# chkconfig sshd off

[root@example.com sumtec]# chkconfig --list | grep ssh
sshd               0:off    1:off    2:off    3:off    4:off    5:off    
6:off

now.

For me, I definately need the openssh-server package
as secured as possible by hardening the remote root access.

So,

[root@example.com sumtec]# chkconfig --level 3 sshd on

back now. Many thanks.
