I don't want sshd



Hi

On one of my Debian boxes, I need ssh, but no sshd. I especially don't want 
to RUN sshd. I achieve this by stopping the daemon and removing all symlinks 
to /etc/init.d/ssh in /etc/rc?.d/. However, every time ssh package gets 
upgraded, I get those symlinks back and sshd restarted. To me, it is a 
security concern, since unintended net services are run. Wouldn't it be 
better to break ssh and sshd into two separate packages? Right know, at least 
in Woody, sshd is part of ssh.

Thanks
Alec
