[sles-beta] sshd start

IMHO, the only service that DOES make sense to have running by default is ssh (at least on a server-oriented system config). If you consider the non-Intel architectures, you don't necessarily have access to a console terminal (or that terminal may not be capable of running YaST), and ssh IS your only route into the system. Every other service could be started/configured later.

Makes sense to me (with the above caveat for ssh).  Can't be hacked if it isn't running, and in a shared resource environment (eg, cloud), just wasted cycles if the service isn't configured.
