iPhone OpenSSH Security

[Update: I tried this after upgrading to firmware version 1.1.1 and it doesn’t seem to work for me. It may work for you though. If it does, post how you got it to work, I’m curious to know why I’m failing. If you can’t get this to work, I suggest installing the Services app, which will allow you to turn on and off your SSH access. Turn it on at home, do your thing, turn it off and go. Pretty simple. And I’m aware that the default passowrd for SSH has changed from “dottie” to “alpine”.]

For anyone using OpenSSH on their iPhone who hasn’t changed the default password of “dottie”, I suggest you follow this amazingly easy process that Chad from Uneasysilence.com posted. Download a script, watch the video tutorial as you do it, and within a minute you have secured your iPhone from all those crazy hackers just sitting in Starbucks waiting for you to jump on the free iTunes store WiFi and delete all your ones and zeros.
