Does the Android SDK Emulator provide access to underlying Linux OS?

Dear experts,
I was intending to develop an application that configures iptables suitable for use on an android phone using the android SDK.
(I know Droid already exists, but would like to develop such an app as a beginner project).
Does the SDK provide access to the underlying linux OS of the SDK or must the SDK be jailbroken?
regards,
Patrick

Yes -, you can get linux shell access in the Android SDK emulators. You can root the emulator with the SuperUser app.

Thanks jc,
I managed to get the emulator running using Android 2.3 and eclipse.
I see from various forums that the emulator is supposed to work as root by default.If
If I run the following command in the terminal:
./adb root
I get the following:
adbd is already running as root
However, when I try and run the following apps DroidWall and Wireless Thether it complains about root privileges.
Note, when I first run Wireless Tether it complains that netfilter is not installed. But when I run it the second time, it complains about the su permissions. Surely the Android SDK comes with the basic linux security features, such as iptables?
That link you sent me, does it work for the version of android i am running?

The app must also know how to access root privilages

[Q] VNC Running?

Has anyone tried to run Android VNC on their Q using the ADB app install method? It would be really cool if it worked...

I know this is old but it came up when I was searching.
Yes, VNC works. My Q is rooted with trebuchet sideloaded and VNC works however I am having a difficult time mapping keys to navigate through Android.

SSH into nvidia ? is this possible - if rooted.

is it possible to install a ssh app on the nvidia, if its rooted
so i can access remotely via macbook to transfer / copy files?

I would suggest sideloading SSHDroid, which can operate in root and non-root (ports above 1024). You'll possibly (i.e. definitely) have to fiddle round with mouse and/or keyboard to get it to work the way you want though. Oddly the unlocker 'key' app wouldn't side load for me, so I don't get the unlocked benefits (and yes, I've paid for the unlocker).

ah is there any non keyboard mouse method - or app? i want to basically access the files to transfer into the android folder / obb etc
and connect from a mac computer

Best way to access camera functionality from remote SSH command line?

Hi, I have a rooted Hauwei U8800 running 2.3.5 with SSH Droid installed. I've connected from my Linux terminal over SSH and would like to issue commands, or run a script to have the device take pictures over a SSH session.
What options are available for me to do this? Easier is preferable
Thanks.
