hostkey mkdir bug/feature request

[Steven Honeyman]

I'm not sure if this is intended or not, but I just got this
accidently; when quickly testing on a system which /etc/dropbear does
not yet exist:

# ./dropbear -R -F -E
[2417] Oct 25 20:27:56 Not backgrounding
[2425] Oct 25 20:28:00 Child connection from 127.0.0.1:44185
[2425] Oct 25 20:28:00 Couldn't create new file
/etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key.tmp2425: No such file or directory
[2425] Oct 25 20:28:00 Exit before auth: Couldn't read or generate
hostkey /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key

(now, I mkdir /etc/dropbear and try and reconnect)

[2442] Oct 25 20:28:18 Child connection from 127.0.0.1:44186
[2442] Oct 25 20:28:18 Generated hostkey
/etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key, fingerprint is sha1!! 29:96:.....


I'd expect if /etc/dropbear did not exist, then it should be created
.
If not a bug, then please consider it a feature request for some time
in the future :)


Thanks,
Steven
