    What did you use as user name and password?

    Still haven't figured it out on mine.

    Go to installer and add the source www.trejan.com/irepo then find SUID Lib Fix and install that then find Term vt100 SUID Fix and install that and now whenever u restart ipod term vt 100 will work fine with pass as alpine.

    Now if anyone knows how to solve my problem?

    Should not be possible with the dev team jb. Might work with Nate's (since his does horrible, horrible things ;) )

    Term-vt100 uses /etc/passwd, and the touch now uses a different method for multi-user mode login, /etc/passwd has all passwords as * (which means, no terminal login :( )

    I manually edited my /etc/passwd and pasted in the hash code from my linux box user login, and that worked - setting the password via passwd gets you the infinite springboard crash loop. I am not sure if editing the file does too, so I am not willing to try it again ;)

    If there is a way to get TERM working with the 1.1.3 dev team jailbreak, I'm all ears!

    In WinSCP:

    Go to menu Commands -> Open Terminal
    In a box next to "Enter command"
    type ( or paste ) chmod 4755 /Applications/Installer.app/Installer
    click execute and that should be it.

    that command is from post 1 on : http://www.ifans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30601, worked for me

    Yeah sorry - I was entering my post - nice find.

    So,
    cd /Applications
    chmod -R 0755 Installer.app

    that should do it

    I would stay away from that for now. The SUID fix worked well though. Too much information to keep track of :D

    to change permissions for all applications to executable, try entering:

    chmod -R a+x /Applications/*

    after you enter this, nothing should happen. the # should appear on the next line. if it doesn't work, keep entering it and make sure you have the correct spacing.

    This command comes in handy because I use total commander to add my applications and files, and they only work with the right permissions.
