So, we have to live with that.
This is not the case. I personally have a SIM card with *no* PIN on it. I could set a PIN on it if I chose to, but for that card I choose not to. Setting the PIN is a choice of the user. It does not have to be set. So any login scheme cannot assume that the SIM card has a PIN on first boot. -- Rod _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
