Public key..

[Siddharth D Tiwari]

Hi,

I installed dropbear into my linux machine running Fedora Linux(2.4.22).
Then i did the following steps, so as to get 'dropbear-0.41' ssh running, but i have a few queries.

Steps while installing dropbear:
1../configure

2.Edit options.h for trimming dropbear
#define SMALL (This macro when defined removes redundant codes)

3.make

4.make strip - to get stripped binary

5.Created rsa host key in /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key with key size of 512 bits
./dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key -s 512

6.Ran dropbear on port 2000
./dropbear -p 2000 &

7.Tried to test using 'Putty' , but as soon as i try giving the login name in the terminal thrown by 'Putty', the terminal immediately closes.....(dropbear is stil running)
>>CAN U PLZ HELP ME.

8. Also, as far as i read about SSH(OpenSSH), it generates 2 keys (public & private using 'ssh-keygen'), while in the case of 'dropbear', it generates only single host key. 
>> CAN WE NOT GENERATE TWO KEYS(public n private).

the material that i referred for ssh was:

Hope to hear about it.
