[maemo-users] What is the risk to enable RD Mode in X Terminal on N900?

[From: khalid khan]

Hey Joerg,

Thumbs Up.Really very good advise to download rootsh file from Application
Manager & it worked without any problems like what i faced before in " X
Terminal by entering sudo gainroot it shows " Enable RD mode if you want to
break your device "

I can now check the prepaid credit & data package usage by using USSD Pad
which is great to use for me every day.

Anyways the only extra thing i want is to use this USSD widget on my desktop
again it shows Error suppose to come as per image.[image: Ussd widget

I got this eg. from the link
http://lovemynokia.com/how-to-check-credit-and-other-details-in-nokia-n900-with-a-touch-of-a-widget

Please let me know if i have to follow some settings.

Thanks again.
Khalid
