Allow user space file locations (rootless support) Why: Running dropbear as a user (rootless) is aided if files and programs can be saved/removed without needing sudo. What: Use the same convention as DROPBEAR_DEFAULT_CLI_AUTHKEY; if not starting with '/', then is relative to hedge's /home/hedge: *_PRIV_FILENAME DROPBEAR_PIDFILE SFTPSERVER_PATH default_options.h commentary added. Changes kept to a minimum, so log entry in svr_kex.c#163 is refactored. From: Generated hostkey is <path> ... <finger-print> to: Generated hostkey path is <path> Generated hostkey fingerprint is <fp> Otherwise the unexpanded path was reported.

Dropbear for Debian
-------------------

This package will attempt to setup the Dropbear ssh server to listen on
port 22.  If the OpenSSH server package ("openssh-server") is installed,
the file /etc/default/dropbear will be set up so that the server does not
start by default.

You can run Dropbear concurrently with OpenSSH 'sshd' by modifying
/etc/default/dropbear so that "NO_START" is set to "0", and changing the
port number that Dropbear runs on.  Follow the instructions in the file.

This package suggests you install the "openssh-client" package, which
provides the "ssh" client program, as well as the "/usr/bin/scp" binary
you will need to be able to retrieve files via SCP from a server running
Dropbear.
