so I just sshed to my N900 with pc-connectivity tools as root (I can't ssh as user, if someone knows a way, please post it) and tried to run python script as user:
Code:
Nokia-N900:/home/user/MyDocs/contribute/accelBlend# sudo -u user python n900_side.py 
root is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
That's funny, of course, but what if I need to execute something over ssh as normal user? What am I doing wrong?

Code:
# dpkg -s maemo-pc-connectivity | grep Version
Version: 0.5

Set a password for the user (passwd user)

Once you're root, you can always do
Code:
su user
to become user for a while.

Code:
passwd user
Changing password for user
Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
that's interesting limit)

You can thank crypt + DES for that, it's cryptographically pathetic and limited to 8 characters.
