SSH Info

For those that may fear the two known "worms" that has emerged for iPhones.
First, the phone needs to be jailbroken to be effected.
Second, you must have installed and activated SSH for the phone to be effected.

Two different way to avoid the problem is 1.) don't install SSH. You can actually use iPhone Browser to accomplish what you can with SSH. 2.) change the default SSH password.

To change the password, you download "Mobile Terminal" from ROCK or CYDIA. Open it and type in the command "passwd" (without the quotes).
You will need to enter the current password, which should be alpine
Then you will need to enter your new one twice.
