Accessing remote systems, for any number of reasons.

If you need to make a change to a big file on a remote web server, which
is better:

- ssh in and edit it with $EDITOR of choice
- transfer the file to your local system, edit it, and transfer it back

Also, since there's no way to set SELinux attributes via FTP or SFTP,
the only way to do so is via ssh.

And these are _not_ just system administrator things; we've got a few
thousand users that do things like this (not SELinux yet since we
haven't moved to that, but editing web pages).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
