After doing an install to hard drive from a F16 live image, I had to run
system-config-firewall, then save settings by unchecking and rechecking the SSH
box (which was already checked, same as install from install images) and
clicking Apply. This caused an SSH iptables rule to be written which did not
exist before. So basically, after an install to hard drive from a live image,
s-c-f is lying when it claims that SSH is a trusted service - that's not true
until you force it to save settings.

I don't remember whether I had to manually start sshd as well before doing this.
