Use the the dbclient -i option and use the private key you generated.
If that doesn't work, recompile the dbclient with debug enabled.

Subject: Password-less setup

Hi,

I am trying to set up a dropbear client to log into a host using key based
authentication.

I have generated the key:
dropbearkey -t rsa -f db_key -s 1024

public key:
dropbearkey -y -f db_key > db_key.pub 

copied to the host I want to long into and then:
cat db_key.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys

However, when I try to login, i still get asked for a password.

I have run sshd in debug mode on the server, looked in all the logs etc.
but there are no error messages related to the keys.
(The sshd on the server is openssh)

Would anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks,
Phil
