I'm one of OpenZaurus developers.

Yesterday I played a bit with setup to authorize using keys. Zaurus use 
dropbear 0.44test4, desktop use openssh 3.8.1p1.

On Zaurus I used "dropbearkey -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa" to generate key. Then 
"dropbearkey -y -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa" and copied publickey to desktop 
~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Desktop id_rsa.pub is added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys 
on Zaurus.

This allow me to login from desktop to Zaurus via simple "ssh user at zaurus" and 
from Zaurus to desktop via "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa user at desktop".

But there is a problem with SCP. I can "scp file user at zaurus:" from desktop 
and it works ok. But from Zaurus to desktop it doesn't work - always ask for 
password:

user at zaurus:~$ scp opie user at desktop:/tmp/
WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-x'
WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-oForwardAgent no'
WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-oClearAllForwardings yes'
Password:
Password:

Password:
/usr/bin/dbclient: connection to user at desktop:22 exited: Disconnect received
lost connection

So I tried to do it in same way as used for ssh:

user at zaurus:~$ scp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa opie user at desktop:/tmp/
WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-x'
WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-oForwardAgent no'
WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-oClearAllForwardings yes'
Failed loading keyfile '-l'
/usr/bin/dbclient: exited: Error resolving: Temporary failure in name 
resolution
lost connection

Is there a way to get it working?
