Ach. I think there was some other openssh in extras-devel, but it
refused to install. Cannot see it there now. Maemo-extras has
version 1:4.6p1-5maemo3, which doesn't ask anything.

I used dropbear-ssh with OS2007, and getting root was easy, as root's
password was always 'rootme'. Dropbear installer didn't say anything
about this huge security hole though.
