iPhone Term-vt100 1.1.3 fix

This is just in case someone else is searching for this answer.

After following some great directions to jailbreak a 1.1.3 iPhone a lot of people noticed that Term-vt100 would ask for a password and the standard password for root and mobile would not work. I found the following in a Google search and had to looked at the cached pages.


"Add the following source to installer: http://www.trejan.com/irepo/ and install the following fixes found under "Tweaks (1.1.3)" in that order:

1. SUID Lib Fix
2. Term-vt100 SUID fix

If you are like me using the latest build (206) where Term-vt100 has been renamed to Terminal, issue the following command instead of installing Term-vt100 SUDI fix (again after having installed the SUID lib fix first):

/bin/chmod +s /Applications/Terminal.app/Terminal

Login using root/alpine should work now."

This worked for me, I just hope the source is safe.
