Definitely.  However, upgrading SSH becomes an issue... one must
re-enable telnet (ick) or run SSH on another port (what I
recommend).  If using the latter, select a port that isn't
commonly used; i.e., if the machine is compromised, you don't
want it listening on the "standard" botnet ports.

FTP presents another set of problems that I'll detail in a
separate message.
