Re: Firewall issue

I'm not a FreeSBIE expert, but I believe you are going to have another
problems if/when you get the firewall to pass SSH. SSHd does not, by
default, allow "root" to logon, and I believe FreeSBIE uses only the
root account. Even if FreeSBIE has a non-root account (with a valid
shell) enabled for ssh this account would be insecure since it would
have a default password on all FreeSBIE disks.

I think you will probably have to build yourself a custom disk with
the firewall and account settings you need.
