[lug] RHEL WS vs ES

[Andrew Gilmore]

It would be a pretty poor workstation that did not allow remote ssh
logins. I have a hard time believing that they would not support this.

Mail or Web serving, perhaps, but ssh? My mind boggles.

Can we confirm that sshd or openssh-server.*.rpm is not included in RHEL
WS?
