Finding your Chumby
Browsing bonjour services from the command line
I downloaded the Bonjour Browser (under OSX) and run it.
[Screen shot of bonjour browser]
You can see the Chumby listed here in the Bonjour Browser, along with the IP Address.
HTTPD/Built in Web Server
The Chumby advertises itself via Bonjour, Apple's system for advertising services.
You can use the Bonjour bookmark that supposedly exists in Safari, but I am unable to find that. So used the tools under Finding Your Chumby to get an IP address to use.
Use the IP address you got from above, for example: http://10.0.1.11
There are limited options on the web server right now, but you get a pretty picture and you can see wireless stats.

SSH
The Chumby comes with sshd, but it is not running by default (can you imagine chumby's running all over, usually behind NAT, but sometimes exposed, with sshd enabled and a default password? It would be chaos I say as people rooted my alarm clock! Enough fear mongering!)
You need to run sshd. This should work-names and paths _might_ be slightly off, so please fix this if you get better information.
1. Pull out the USB wireless dongle
2. connect a USB hub
3. connect your USB Wireless to one port of the hub
4. Create a file called chumbydebug on a USB thumb drive (you can't format the drive with the Mac HFS (?) file system.)
The file should contain this line: /bin/sshd
5. Connect the USB drive
6. Power up the Chumby
7. ssh to the IP address found in the bonjour browser (see above under HTTPD) File:Example.jpg
I don't know the default username, or default password...
8. To See if sshd is running, from a terminal window: dns-sd -B _ssh._tcp
