David is correct. Access is access. Adding a SSH daemon does
not change the matter. The original chmod 777 was to a shell
script, not a port.
It is assumed that ordinary directory and account security
is in place.
Simply being in the presence of a person does not immediately
evoke "I do." There is a little protocol, handshaking, etc,
necessary before you get to that point. Eh.
