For now I used it to make a copy of all the files I could find on the reader for further analysis.
It doesn't look like it runs as root, which is what I expected. You would need some way for root to launch it (in start up scripts or /etc/inetd.conf or...), and I doubt that PB left any such hole in their system. Launching it from the Applications tab means that it runs under the reader/sreader account.

Still, it's very useful even without root capabilities.
