I'm on the verge of installing OpenSSH on my JB'd iPhone 4 (4.0.1). I've searched around this great forum, and found pretty much everything I need to proceed save for one item:

From what I've read, it's advisable to turn auto-lock "off" when OpenSSH is installed. But after a brief search, there is one detail that I can't see has been specified: Should auto-lock ALWAYS be off, or only when using OpenSSH? If I'm going about my day and not interfacing with the files in my phone at the time, I prefer to manually lock the phone, or let it auto-lock. Is this an issue?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

I usually turn it off so it doesn't autolock and disable wifi while I'm transfering/changing files on the phone. Once I'm done I turn autolock back on.
