Hi, The following doesn't work: $ echo 'echo hello' | ssh host /bin/sh If host is running dropbear. OTOH, if host is running OpenSSH, I get 'hello' echoed back to me. I found the following mail, but no follow-up, so I'm asking (again, I suppose). http://osdir.com/ml/network.ssh.dropbear/2005-08/msg00002.html Thanks in advance, Micha
