Once in single user mode, ssh is out of the question.  In single user 
mode, only
*person* can login, and that is at the actual terminal.
Depending on the situation, for example.  My firewall is at the other 
side of the
house, without a keyboard/monitor.
Since the box doesn't have any other logged in users, I normally
build world in multi user mode.
Doing so is taking a chance with the success of the build world,
but like I said, it depends on the situation...
