These files look interesting, but I am such a noob I dont know if they are or not.

Also, the file /sbin/recovery talks about (when looked at by a hex editor) /sdcard/update.zip

I could be wrong, but I these look like log files and not init files.

[glitch77-2]

I'm fairly sure log files wouldn't have comments.

Maybe I'm wrong.

Definitely not log files...

The first is a core system file called by the bootloader. Here is the entire code from the android kernel site:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pla...ootdir/init.rc

From what I can tell it goes through a lot of the basics; setting log levels, exporting environment variables, creating mount points for and installing kernel modules (insmod command), creating devices in the /dev folder, setting up global permissions on system files, and much more; There is nothing here that is significantly different than a standard linux boot but it gives me some clues on the structure of android and it's security configuration.

I just bought a Moment on Friday; I happen to be a Linux user/developer so I'm hoping to be able to contribute some knowledge to rooting this device. I don't have extensive knowledge of androids' particular distribution structure so I'll have to study up before I can be really effective.

I actually think the Moment should be easier to root than other android phones because it uses a vanilla version of android with less modifications. Can't say for sure until I get deeper into the code.

Does anyone know if there happens to be a central effort to root the Moment already?

Here is a site I found today.
http://alldroid.org/viewforum.php?f=215
They have a link to someone who was able to get a system dump.

yea those are definitely init scripts!

we use similar with android on the vogue
