Problems after fresh testing installation

[Thomas Deselaers <thomas@deselaers.de>]

Hello,

after a long time using unstable I decided to buy a new harddrive and to a
complete new install. Everything worked fine so far, excpet some small
things:

a) sshd is by default configured to not accept passwords. Is this really a
   good idea? it took me quite a long time to find the reason why I was not
   able to log onto my box from remote

b) Using xfree-4.1.0-9 I wanted to use truetype fonts and
   font-anti-aliasing. Thus I installed a lot of fonts including the
   msttcorefonts-package and libgdkxft. Now I do have a anti-aliasing in
   gnome, but all the true-type-fonts look exactly same.

   Here is what I think might be an interesting excerpt from my
   /etc/X11/XF86config after I edited it to work with xfstt, which now
   provides the Truetype-fonts but without anti-aliasing.

   Anyone an idea, what this could be.

c) Also I after install with gnome and such and such when I first logged in
   on gdm gnome started up fine, but there was no windowmanager installed.
   Maybe this is a missing dependency. 

Everything else worked fine. I was doing an install from net with a
network-bootcd.

Greets,
thomas
