To be fair the password comes from apple. Any of the JB apps I have seen explicitly tell you that enabling ssh is a bad idea unless you know what you are doing and only if you are going to change the password. Though the fact that the app does not prompt you to change the password right then and there is lazy at best.

Ah, I didn't realize. So the shell password already exists and is "alpine", but the SSH app just enables SSH?

[edit, yeah, googled it and everything...]
