Sorry for asking possibly a dumb question, but I seem to be getting stuck when following the wiki procedure for becoming root.

The wiki says to install xterm, which I've done and works fine, then dropbear. Dropbear seems to install fine, and I can see it listed as a process, but when I type "ssh" the system says command not found.

The wiki actually explicitly said to not have openssh installed, but I found a forum post that suggested using openssh instead of dropbear. Unfortunately, maemo.org has been down most of the last 24 hours, and I haven't had any success getting any other ssh to work.

I've read the wiki about 37 times and also have searched the forum, but I haven't found anything to help.

Also, out of curiosity, if we are aware of the default root password, why do we have to ssh in to get root? Why doesn't "sudo su" work?


Thanks in advance,

TJ
