Is that a once-only toggle to enable outgoing SSH, or once per usage?  This is a really important issue for me as I use SSH from my current phone (N900 with Maemo) several times a day practically every day, so to have to enable it each time is a deal-breaker.  I really like Ubuntu Phone and am about to move my main SIM over to my Nexus 4 that runs it, but if this is coming in then I'll have to look at another OS.

If it's a simple, one-off switch, then that's fine and I have no problem with it.

Cheers
Phil

 does that apply if the system has no lock
 mechanism set up at all  (i
 must admit i
 haven't run a password/pin less phone to see how sudo
 or
 the terminal behave in that scenario in a
 long time)

 no, i actually meant to have a similar switch
 we use for the server
 side ... you would
 have to toggle it once to allow outgoing ssh so it is
 blocked by default.
