Greetings,
First day with dropbear, and first post to this list. I've looked
around on the web, but felt someone here could probably point me to the
data.
I have an admittedly unusual need to make dropbear function in a
specialized initramfs environment. I'm using a static busybox,
additionally a static bash4, and now a static multi dropbear.
This is not the real system, so I want to try to keep the size
reasonable, but I cannot get in via ssh, and I'm sure there are a bunch
of c libs that handle auth w/ /etc/passwd, /etc/group etc. required that
I do not have in there. It basically has no concept of 'user' at this
point.
Does anyone know the minimal amount of stuff I need to make this work?
Thanks for any bones you can throw my way.
-C
