Problems loggin on to your iPhone with Term-vt100?

Here’s the solution:

First install the following tools on your iPhone:

- OpenSSH
- BSD Subsystem

Then ssh into your iPhone from your Mac (Terminal) or PC (Putty) and issue a couple of commands to fix an issue not being setted properly with the SUID.

Perform those steps:

- Connect your iPhone to your wireless network.

- Check your iPhone’s wifi settings te retrieve the ip-address.

- Start Terminal (enter ssh root@xx.xx.xx.xx) or Putty (enter the iPhone ip-address in the hostname box).

- You will probably get a popup/error (authentication), simply click or type yes, then login with the username “root” and the password “alpine”.

- You are now logged into your iPhone with root access.

Now you need to create a directory where we will create a symbolic link inside, issue the following command:

- mkdir -p /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib

The -p flag saves us creating each sub directory.

Now you need to create a symbolic link to the file libgcc_s.1.dylib located in /usr/lib/. Issue the following command:

- ln -sf /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib /usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib

The -s creates a symbolic link while -f forces the link to be made even if there is a file there with that name.

Now you need to change the permissions of the Term-vt100 executable, issue the following command:

- chmod +s /Applications/Term-vt100.app/Term-vt100

Ready! The problem should be fixed and all that is required is a restart of the Term-vt100 app.

You should now be able to log in to your iPhone with the password alpine (default user is root).
