Root Access on the Nokia 770

Of course one of the first things I wanted to do was configure my Nokia 770 for root access.

I found the instructions on the website linked below to be very good with just a few frustrations.

First they simply state that you should connect to the IP address assigned to the nokia.

ssh root@aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd X;- change this to the ip address assigned to your 770

Fine... but HOW do you get it's ip address. "ifconfig" in xterm fails (well, AFTER you are logged in as root it works). My DSL router is being bad and doesn't show anything in its DHCP assignment table. I can't seem to figure out how to set a static IP on the nokia.

The "ssh root@localhost" doesn't work as suggested in the instructions. And, I can't "ssh root@ipaddress" from another system because I can't find the ipaddress and pinging around isn't finding it.

All is well, I am in xterm and the instructions for easy root access are in front of me... but they don't work!

Opps! I completely missed this one: "dbclient root@127.1". The instructions for setting and changing the passwords are good.

That worked and I was root. The ifconfig showed me the IP address.

Remote SSH access works great... but the interface won't response immediately (to SSH or pings).

Thank author of this post/commentI just followed the instructions on the page below to install osso-xterm and becomeroot. Then I just type "sudo becomeroot" to get root access.

FYI: ifconfig works but you have to type the whole path.

/sbin/ifconfig gives you the IP address
