Can't imagine any other protection other than:

- locking it to only one other device, i.e. accept commands only from a predefined device. The problem here is that you limit in some cases also the speed you can start tracking you phone in case it gets lost.

- renaming the commands to words only you know. That's there from the first version and will provide a gui later to make it easier.
Well, for example having the user defined password right after the command as a first parameter. If the password is wrong in a SMS, do nothing. If it is right, take it out from the SMS message and continue parsing the SMS normally and do what it asked.

I have a program similar to SMScon in N95 called PhoneGuard.
It can also be controlled remotely by SMS-commands, but they (correctly) require a predefined password.
