Description

Believe it or not, I fat fingered "13" the other day and typed "14" instead when connected via SSH ... and hit "y" which then locked me out of a firewall. Had to dig out the console cable to get it sorted.

This small patch just checks to see if the current session is via SSH and if so, it prints a warning if the user is about to footgun themselves.
