Starting Dropbear

[Fabrizio Bertocci]

Dropbearkey only generates the keys, is not the real server.
You need to start the server on one machine (use dropbear), and the client
from another machine.
Well...
Get help page from dropbear for a list of arguments. You need to provide at
least your dsa or rsa keys to start the server side (dropbear).
On the client side you can use dbclient to connect to the server side.
Again use 'dbclient -h' for a list of command line parameters accepted.
