OK, I've checked everything I can think of; no joy. I have /dev/pts...
I recompiled dropbear with debug, and it's failing in checkusername.
Looking at the source, ses.authstate.pw == NULL so the check fails.
Where is ses.authstate.pw loaded? scanning the source code didn't make
anything jump out at me....
dropbear works fine on the same machine using full-blown debian
install. It fails on my hand-built system, so most likely it's a
missing lib.... But dropbear doesn't complain at all about any missing
libs. I am trying to build a minimal system, using only those things
that are needed.
The machine is a Mac LC475 (1993 vintage), running a 2.2.25 kernel, the
latest available for a m68k, with debian testing/unstable. (And yes, I
did get rid of the problematic CPU and replaced it with a full-blown 68040.)
I tried running strace, but when dropbear forks to handle the
connection, the trace stops. How do I get strace to trace the child?
strace -f -F dropbear -F -E -v didn't help.
Any suggestions at this point?
