#Dropbear vs openssh install#
Then run “ ipkg install openssh-sftp” to install support for the sftp protocol which sshfs uses.Dropbear uses a different command for generating keys. However, OpenSSH offers a few useful features over and above dropbear, specifically SOCKS5 proxy over SSH Point-to-point (layer 3) connections over SSH VPN (layer 2) connections over SSH. But if you consider to setup a public key authentication from Termux to something else, it is worth to mention some important differences between OpenSSH and Dropbear. For regular SSH/SFTP access to the router, DD-WRTs built-in dropbear SSH client and server are perfectly adequate. Run “ ipkg remove -force-depends dropbear” to remove dropbear. Same as for OpenSSH, you can put your keys by using ssh-copy-id.Check that openssh is now serving on port 22 by logging into the device over ssh.Reboot (dropbear will restart on the new port, and openssh will start on the normal ssh port).Make sure you have set a root password before rebooting (use “ passwd” to set it).Dropbear is a system service that runs a daemon to. Run “ ipkg install -force-depends openssh” to install openssh. Unfortunately, AppArmor doesn't include a profile for Dropbear (or the OpenSSH server, for that matter).Edit /etc/init.d/dropbear by replacing “ DROPBEAR_PORT=22” with “ DROPBEAR_PORT=2222” (or any other unused port).To do this on OpenMoko (or any other OpenEmbedded-based distribution for that matter, for instance SlugOS or Angstrom): Then run ipkg install openssh-sftp to install support for the sftp protocol which sshfs uses. Run ipkg remove -force-depends dropbear to remove dropbear. Check that openssh is now serving on port 22 by logging into the device over ssh. Another reason is to get better support for agent forwarding (which is essential for bouncing from one machine to another without leaving your private keys all over the internet). Reboot (dropbear will restart on the new port, and openssh will start on the normal ssh port). The main reason is to get sftp support (which is required by sshfs). I prefer to use OpenSSH rather than Dropbear on my devices.
