  1. After receiving a 'Lock' command, if the device is unlocked with the correct password, smscon continues to send updates about the Keyboard being opened or closed. I don't know if it is an intended behavior or not.
  2. A "Wipe device" feature would be very interesting (I think that the chances of finding your device when lost/stolen are quite slim...)
  3. My openSSH server use public key authentification as it is more secure. Can you add an option to use this kind of connection ?
  4. I haven't managed to make the reverse-SSH connection works, though I can manage to connect directly by using "ssh -p port_number user@ip_address". Is there a way for me to debug the connection problem ? Using smscon -log, I can see that the GPRS connection is successful but the connection to the SSH server is refused (DAEMON ERROR: ssh connection failure). Server side, I didn't see anything coming from the N900.
Thank for your feedback!

1) it is intended (but maybe I will change it to only once).

2) A Wipe feature could be done, but It's very destructive.

3) I tried to use it with public key authentification but somehow I couldn't get it to work.

4) I will add in future release more log on seting up ssh connection.
