Hi All,

I am using dropbear sshd v0.52 (non-inetd mode) ported onto uClinux os
running on ARM cortex M3 processor.

I found that dropbear server is not accepting multiple ssh clients at
a time. I need to exit the first client & then second client is
connected. Until then the second client is suspended.

I have debugged the code and found that vfork() in main_noinetd() is
not returned for parent process & after reading man pages, I found
that vfork() suspends the parent process until child exits or calls
execve().

Is there any fix for this issue?

Thanks and Regards,
Naveen
