The resourcefulness of folks working on accessing the Unixy goodness of the iPhone is impressive. Working off of previous accomplishments, someone going by the name NerveGas has figured out a way of getting the SSH daemon working on the iPhone. This, combined with custom-compiled utilities, is really opening up the possibilities for customizing the iPhone going forward.
I'm a bit beyond my days of spending hours figuring out workarounds for restrictions, and I'll most likely continue to use my iPhone as-is. But it's heartening to see that the platform is being opened up for customization.
NerveGas' Howto is located here.
