ssh: don't open port 22 for the loopback-only sshd
sshd-localhost.nix turns sshd on for every role so that "ssh root@localhost"
works, and binds it to 127.0.0.1 only ("zero network exposure", as its
own comment says, and as sshd.nix expects: the sshd feature "extends this
to 0.0.0.0 and opens port 22 on the firewall when the user enables remote
SSH").
It never turned off services.openssh.openFirewall, which NixOS defaults
to true and applies whether or not sshd listens on the ports. So port 22
was open in the firewall on every role, Desktop Only included, with
nothing behind it. No listener means no live exposure today; it does mean
the firewall was not saying what the documentation says, and the day
something does bind 22 on a wider address (a listenAddresses change, a
second daemon) it would be reachable without anyone having opened it.
openFirewall is now mkDefault false there. Nothing that wants SSH
published loses it: sshd.nix (feature sshd) and remote-deploy.nix both
add 22 explicitly, and only when enabled. Found by evaluating the real
module set; grepping for allowedTCPPorts does not see a NixOS default.
Evaluated with nix eval, TCP firewall ports:
before after
Server + Desktop 22 80 443 3051 8937 80 443 3051 8937
Bitcoin Node Only 22 3051 8937 60847 3051 8937 60847
Desktop Only 22 (none)
Desktop + features.sshd 22 22
Desktop + deploy.enable 22 3389 22 3389
and sshd's listen addresses are unchanged: 127.0.0.1 by default,
127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0 with the sshd feature. Desktop Only now opens no
TCP port at all; UDP 5353 (mDNS) is the only port open there, and
SECURITY.md says so.
Add tests/test_ssh_exposure.py.
