just assume they considered your suggestion and ask as if they did and must indeed have a reason why it didn't work:
"so what was the issue with using sshd?"
you're assuming competence, and if they say "oh I never thought of that" then you can prompt them to consider it - "might be worth a shot" or something like that. Comes across less accusative I think.
Yes I agree. A 'what is the problem with using sshd?' or similar seems valid to me. It gives them a way to actually explain if there is a problem and if not, oh that might work.
