Improve address logging on early exit messages (#83) Change 'Early exit' and 'Exit before auth' messages to include the IP address & port as part of the message. This allows log scanning utilities such as 'fail2ban' to obtain the offending IP address as part of the failure event instead of extracting the PID from the message and then scanning the log again for match 'child connection from' messages Signed-off-by: Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant <[email protected]>

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.
