21 Server public key auth: |
| 72 | 22 |
| 23 You can use ~/.ssh/authorized_keys in the same way as with OpenSSH, just put | |
| 24 the key entries in that file. They should be of the form: | |
| 25 | |
| 26 ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAIEAwVa6M6cGVmUcLl2cFzkxEoJd06Ub4bVDsYrWvXhvUV+ZAM9uGuewZBDoAqNKJxoIn0Hyd0Nk/yU99UVv6NWV/5YSHtnf35LKds56j7cuzoQpFIdjNwdxAN0PCET/MG8qyskG/2IE2DPNIaJ3Wy+Ws4IZEgdJgPlTYUBWWtCWOGc= someone@hostname | |
| 27 | |
| 28 You must make sure that ~/.ssh, and the key file, are only writable by the | |
| 290 | 29 user. Beware of editors that split the key into multiple lines. |

| 75 | 49 If you want to get the public-key portion of a Dropbear private key, look at |
| 50 dropbearkey's '-y' option. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 ============================================================================ | |
| 53 | |
| 874 | 54 To run the server, you need to server keys, this is one-off: |
| 72 | 55 ./dropbearkey -t rsa -f dropbear_rsa_host_key |
| 56 ./dropbearkey -t dss -f dropbear_dss_host_key | |

57 ./dropbearkey -t ecdsa -f dropbear_ecdsa_host_key |
| 72 | 58 |
| 59 or alternatively convert OpenSSH keys to Dropbear: | |
| 60 ./dropbearconvert openssh dropbear /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key dropbear_dss_host_key | |
| 61 | |
| 874 | 62 You can also get Dropbear to create keys when the first connection is made - |
| 63 this is preferable to generating keys when the system boots. Make sure | |
| 64 /etc/dropbear/ exists and then pass '-R' to the dropbear server. | |
| 65 | |
| 75 | 66 ============================================================================ |
| 72 | 67 |
| 68 If the server is run as non-root, you most likely won't be able to allocate a | |
| 69 pty, and you cannot login as any user other than that running the daemon | |
| 70 (obviously). Shadow passwords will also be unusable as non-root. | |

| 73 | |
| 72 | 74 The Dropbear distribution includes a standalone version of OpenSSH's scp |
| 75 program. You can compile it with "make scp", you may want to change the path | |
| 161 | 76 of the ssh binary, specified by _PATH_SSH_PROGRAM in options.h . By default |
| 75 | 77 the progress meter isn't compiled in to save space, you can enable it by |
| 78 adding 'SCPPROGRESS=1' to the make commandline. |
