<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Back in 2005, there was a post from John Daz who would like to tunnel into an embedded system without providing a shell. It was responded by Matt who advised him to comment out line 70 of svr-session.c which read "&svrchansess,".</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I also would like to allow one embedded system to tunnel into another embedded system without providing a shell. I am running Dropbear 0.50. I commented out the same line (still on line 70) and now I am unable to log in using dbclient.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the server side I am running:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>dropbear -r /etc/dropbearkey -s -a -p 12345</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On the client side, I am running:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>dbclient -p 12345 -i /etc/clientkey -y -L 80:localhost:80 -g -T <a href="http://192.168.2.45">192.168.2.45</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I get the following:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Host '<a href="http://192.168.2.45">192.168.2.45</a>' key accepted unconditionally.<br>(fingerprint md5 50:69:d1:be:84:f3:6d:1d:c7:86:de:2f:bf:b9:38:25)<br>Connection to <a href="mailto:root@192.168.2.45:12345">root@192.168.2.45:12345</a> closed.<br>
</div>
<div>Now if I uncomment line 70 of svr-session.c, it works flawlessly.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don't know if it matters, however I am running this on BusyBox v1.1.3 on an ARM9 Processor.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any assistance would be appreciated,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div> </div>
