So I was waaaay off. OK, time for me to put that CSC 401 knowledge to work :-)

I meant public keys (`ssh-copy-id`).

These new requirements seem to be motivated mostly by the arrival in this space of a new contractor (CSC). What better way to "make a splash" than to "solve a problem," and what problems are easier to solve than those one creates ?-)

Ditto. I'm guessing (ICBW) this is because
1. FP's IP is mobile-oriented (even its home service is 4G) and not bolted-on to a historically cable- or landline-centric service.
2. I tend to power-off FP's modem if the boxes behind it are not in use. I'm on a data-limited (10 GB/month) plan, so seek to reduce wardriving--not to mention, NSA access :-) That being said, I also I have wireless disabled @ home, so this is probably overkill.
