Try without identifying current user
Small change that warns the user if the current user cannot be identified rather than aborting. This came in handy when I put dropbear on a dlink that did not have a true user environment. Falling back on the "-l" option and user@ options works just fine as a client. The only implication I found is that the -J option will fail ungracefully without a known own_user.

Using the dropbear SSH server with runit's services supervision --------------------------------------------------------------- The dropbear SSH server is perfectly suited to be run under runit's service supervision, and this package already has prepared an adequate service directory. Follow these steps to enable the dropbear service using the runit package. If not yet installed on your system, install the runit package, and make sure its service supervision is enabled (it's by default) # apt-get install runit Make sure the dropbear service normally handled through the sysv init script is stopped # /etc/init.d/dropbear stop Create the system user ``dropbearlog'' which will run the logger service, and own the logs # adduser --system --home /var/log/dropbear --no-create-home dropbearlog Create the log directory and make the newly created system user the owner of this directory # mkdir -p /var/log/dropbear && chown dropbearlog /var/log/dropbear Optionally adjust the configuration of the dropbear service by editing the run script # vi /etc/dropbear/run Finally enable the service through runit's update-service(8) program, the service will be started within five seconds, and automatically at boot time, and the sysv init script will automatically be disabled; see the sv(8) program for information on how to control services handled by runit. See the svlogd(8) program on how to configure the log service. # update-service --add /etc/dropbear Optionally check the status of the service a few seconds later # sv status dropbear -- Gerrit Pape <[email protected]>, Fri, 02 Mar 2007 20:41:08 +0000
