About Dropbear

+Control and administer remotely with the Dropbear SSH secure server. Dropbear is a small SSH client/server +supporting SSH 2, it's compatible with OpenSSH and uses ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for the management of public keys. +Dropbear also provides it's own version of scp, allowing you to copy files +between remote machines in a secure manner. +

+Project website: +matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html +

+ + +

Connecting to a remote host with dbclient

+The configuration files for the SSH client are located in the ~/.ssh directory of each user, this contains +the authorized_keys and known_hosts files. The directory ~/.ssh and known_hosts file are automatically created +the first time you run the Dropbear server. +

+To connect to a remote host using the user and machine name: +

 $ dbclient user@machine.org
+

+You can also connect using the IP address of the machine: +

 $ dbclient user@192.168.0.2
+

+ + +

Transfer of remote files with scp

+To copy a file from your computer to another, scp can be utilized in the following way. To copy a file +named page.html to a remote directory of the user (don't forget the : after the machine name or +IP address): +

 $ scp page.html user@machine.org:Folder/Sub-Folder
+

+Copy a file from a remote machine to your local machine: +

 $ scp user@machine.org:Folder/Sub-Folder/page.html /path/your/machine
+

+ + +

Generate rsa/dss keys with dropbearkey

+Dropbear provides dropbearkey to generate the protected keys rsa +and dss. Note that when you start the server for the first time, secure keys will be +automatically generated if they don't already exist. You can use dropbearkey with +the following argurments: +

 # dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key
+ # dropbearkey -t dss -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
+

+ + +

Start, stop, restart the SSH server

+By default SliTaz will not start the SSH server at boot, to be launched automatically dropbear +must be added to the variable RUN_DAEMONS in the /etc/rcS.conf file. To start, stop or restart +the SSH server; use the following commands: /etc/init.d/dropbear [start|stop|restart]. +Example to start the server: +

 # /etc/init.d/dropbear start
+

+Note that the server supports the passing of various options when launched. To change the default values, +simple modify the daemons configuration file /etc/daemons.conf. +
