Not really, especially if it's idle. Leaving wifi active eats far more power.

It's power use is pretty much zero unless used.

If you've got a public IP on edge/3g like I do, other people might try guess your password though, a million times. That eats power

Just remove K20ssh from /etc/rc0.d and that should stop it from loading on boot.

or

For temporary shutoff between reboots issue the following commands from terminal;

sudo gainroot
/etc/init.d/ssh stop

That would "turn it off" till next reboot or shutdown.

Rather than turning off sshd, perhaps you could just configure it to use a non-standard port to reduce the chances of getting hammered by brute-force password guessing attacks?

Putty is terminal emulation. Whats the point to get windows app when you have native xterm?

I'm lazy and miss the shiny buttons :P Let me rephrase it then, a SSH GUI would be nice to save the connections easily and get access without opening the terminal always.

I too was having trouble connecting to root@127.0.0.1 , until i tried my device lock out code >.<

Who would have thought that the numerical code you put in under settings -> general -> Device lock, would be the same password that ssh uses?

Eh? K20ssh means "Kill whatever is linked to at place 20 in the sorted order". S20ssh means to start. Removing this will prevent sshd from starting. But, preventing sshd form starting is, in my opinion, to solve the wrong problem.
