I'm curious how difficult it would be to put a password on my player using rockbox, the same way some cellphones require passwords on boot. The closest thing I saw on flyspray was this:
http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/7921?histring=password Which is a screensaver password, not a bootup password. I'm thinking something very simple, like having an unencrypted passwd.txt in /.rockbox, that the player would ask for when turned on. The password itself would just be a sequence of key presses (left, right, down, up, etc.). If an incorrect password was entered, the player could then display a mailing address and phone number of the owner, in hopes it would get sent back to them. I realize this would offer no protectection against a determined thief, who could just hook it up to a computer and find the file or wipe out rockbox entirely, but my hope is this would give somebody just picking up a lost player off the street more incentive to return the player to its owner. Any tips on implementing? Since this needs to run at boot I assume a plugin is out of the question.
