(BTW: the jailbreaking software doesn't install remote access by default, but if you, the user of a jailbroken phone, want to install a server which allows people to login to your phone, and don't change Apple's default root password, you can...it doesn't try to prevent you)

My gripe is that the jailbreaking software doesn't at least allow you to change the password during the break. MobileTerminal wasn't working and my iPhone got wormed between the time I installed OpenSSH and ssh'd in to change the password. Took me a while to figure out why it was that I couldn't ssh in *sigh*.

Tip for jailbreakers: turn off your telco network until you change the password.
