Dropbear

Hi

Has anyone tested "dropbear" in a tomato firmware? I am having tough time making it work. It compiles/builds fine and also seem to be properly installed in /usr/bin but cannot make it start from a busybox.

I tried running the server with "dropbear -s -a". It seem to take the command but when i do a "ps -ef" , never shows dropbear running.

 

My goal is to just use a simple windows SSH client like PUTTY to connect to the router via dropbear.

Any help is appreciated. (with an example)

Dropbear is installed already

Dropbear is installed already on Tomato, just not started.
In order to start it, go on your tomato web admin interface, menu "Administration". Once in, you have got a "SSH Daemon" section. Tick the "Enable at startup" box and configure ports as you wish to use it.

Once done, saving your changes will automatically start a dropbear ssh server
