Disable SSH daemon when remote connections are disabled

I can confirm this behavior. If I reboot Jolla with remote connections disabled SSH is listening on port 22. But if I turn the option on and off again (just "Remote connection", not "Developer mode") it behaves correctly - it doesn't listen on port 22. It also isn't listed in netstat.

yes that works fine, it's always my first step to install the keys for nemo and root:

ssh-copy-id nemo@192.168.2.15
ssh nemo@192.168.2.15
devel-su
cd ~
cp -vr /home/nemo/.ssh

But I agree disabling password logins and shutdown sshd should be doable from UI.

I guess you don't want the kiddies trying your phone over SSH with a dictionary of passwords, hence draining your battery.

Thanks for testing this out. I always asked me this question, but didn't manage to test this out. ;)

So, to sum this up in very few words:

Although "Remote connection" is disabled, you can still connect remotely via SSH over WiFi! (with public key authentication)

This is definitely a bug, that should be fixed. (I am kind of a person, who likes to have as much "security walls" behind each other, as one could get. ;) )

This bug is still valid for 1.0.8.21 (Tahkalampi).

Another interesting fact in this topic: SSH-Login seems to be blocked, as long as your jolla phone is in sleep mode (display off).

Reproduce:

1. wait untill your jolla turns its display off
2. start a ssh nemo@jolla on your PC => Connection-request does not finish. It just waits.
3. now double tab on your jolla screen to wake it up => connection is instantly enabled.

I guess this is a nice security feature. Since it gives the user a little bit more control about the time, a ssh connection can be established.
