Dropbear on ppc405

[Miroslaw Dach]

Thank you for your hint.
When I have started the dropbear with option -F -E  I have got the message 
that the /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key is missing
and   /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key is missing.
   
I have moved /dropbear_dss_host_key to /etc/dropbear/

Next time when I have started the dropbear with -F -E I have got the 
message:

failed reading /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key disabling RSA
Not forking

Event so I was able to use the ssh client on the host computer.

I am wandering what is the meaning of : Not forking?


second time when I have started the dropbear I have got:

failed reading /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key disabling RSA
Warning: Reading the random source seems to have blocked.
If you experience problems, you probably need to find a better entropy 
source.

Is it somehow possible to run dropbear as a daemon or via inetd?

Best Regards

Mirek
