You are probably not alone, these things should be disabled by default.
I would chose to install a backdoor (I dislike thieves more than crackers) but it should be an explicit choice from the user. On 6/30/07, Ian Stirling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The user is not always the owner. This is clearest in the theft case. It's also a factor when you might want to give phones to employees or children. If I own the phone, I want the freedom to lock it down so hard that I can't get back into it with the debug board if I forget the password/phrase. And yes, this does imply some things - kernel preventing all access to the NAND from all but the root user, DFU/u-boot supporting password/passphrase/signed updates, and hardware support. Personally, I don't want a back door into the hardware where if someone has my phone for 30s, and a properly prepared laptop, they can boot an image from RAM with DFU, and install keyloggers/... _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
