This is Dropbear, a smallish SSH 2 server and client.
|
|
|
|
INSTALL has compilation instructions.
|
|
|
|
MULTI has instructions on making a multi-purpose binary (ie a single binary
|
|
which performs multiple tasks, to save disk space)
|
|
|
|
SMALL has some tips on creating small binaries.
|
|
|
|
See TODO for a few of the things I know need looking at, and please contact
|
|
me if you have any questions/bugs found/features/ideas/comments etc :)

In the absence of detailed documentation, some notes follow:
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
|
|
Public key auth:
|
|
|
|
You can use ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the same way as with OpenSSH, just put
|
|
the key entries in that file. They should be of the form:
|
|
|
|
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAwVa6M6cGVmUcLl2cFzkxEoJd06Ub4bVDsYrWvXhvUV+ZAM9uGuewZBDoAqNKJxoIn0Hyd0Nk/yU99UVv6NWV/5YSHtnf35LKds56j7cuzoQpFIdjNwdxAN0PCET/MG8qyskG/2IE2DPNIaJ3Wy+Ws4IZEgdJgPlTYUBWWtCWOGc= someone@hostname
|
|
|
|
You must make sure that ~/.ssh, and the key file, are only writable by the
|
|
user.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Dropbear ignores authorized_keys options such as those described in the
|
|
OpenSSH sshd manpage, and will not allow a login for these keys.
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
|
|
If you want to get the public-key portion of a Dropbear private key, look at
|
|
dropbearkey's '-y' option.
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
|
|
To run the server, you need to generate server keys, this is one-off:
|
|
./dropbearkey -t rsa -f dropbear_rsa_host_key
|
|
./dropbearkey -t dss -f dropbear_dss_host_key
|
|
|
|
or alternatively convert OpenSSH keys to Dropbear:
|
|
./dropbearconvert openssh dropbear /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key dropbear_dss_host_key
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
|
|
If the server is run as non-root, you most likely won't be able to allocate a
|
|
pty, and you cannot login as any user other than that running the daemon
|
|
(obviously). Shadow passwords will also be unusable as non-root.
|
|
|
|
============================================================================
|
|
|
|
The Dropbear distribution includes a standalone version of OpenSSH's scp
|
|
program. You can compile it with "make scp", you may want to change the path
|
|
of the ssh binary, specified near the top of the scp.c file. By default
|
|
the progress meter isn't compiled in to save space, you can enable it by
|
|
adding 'SCPPROGRESS=1' to the make commandline.
