Palm Bean Lock feature

Hi, Recently on BUGTRAQ, when discussing a vulnerability with a certain piece of Palm software, it was mentioned that: * If an attacker obtains access to the user's Palm device he can copy via IrDA (infrared), or "beam", the "sceiddb.pdb" file. By default this file does not have the "Beam Lock" protection bit set. This bit tells the PalmOS not to allow the beaming of the file. But the "Beam Lock" protection can be easily disabled. Does anyone know how this "beam lock" protection is enabled/disabled? I can't find any way of doing it via the ordinary interface so I assume it's a little more sophisticated than this. Regards, Christian.
