Just installed the newest version of OpenSSH on my N800 with OS2008 Beta, and low and behold it asked me to set a root password, its a welcome feature for me and a much cleaner way of setting passwords than adding old repository's to install becomeroot or gainroot.
Anyone else noticed this or am I just repeating what people already know?

Thanks!

I'm glad you like it. Any further suggestions?
I'm going to fix small gtk issue with color of background and release it.

I honestly can't think of anything else, I would never of thought of getting OpenSSH to set the root password till you did it 
It now does everything I need in an SSH server.
Thanks again!

Is it possible to abort this password dialog? Or will we be forced to change the current root password?

The initial idea was that this dialog shouldl only appear when you install package first time.
I'll look at this again and fix it if it doesn't work properly.

One more good thing about openssh is if you install openssh-server and change password you will be able to login as root without using becomeroot or setting R&D mode.
Sounds good, ha?

Ed thanks It's often simple things like this that make all the difference.

I think the best solution would be one more dialog that asks at first whether you want to change your password or not. Or the password dialog could be extended by a cancel button. The Info text should mention that cancel will abort password change without aborting the setup.
