1Dropbear for Debian 2------------------- 3 4This package will attempt to listen on port 22. If the OpenSSH 5package ("ssh") is installed, the file /etc/default/dropbear 6will be set up so that the server does not start by default. 7 8You can run Dropbear concurrently with OpenSSH 'sshd' by 9modifying /etc/default/dropbear so that "NO_START" is set to 10"0" and changing the port number that Dropbear runs on. Follow 11the instructions in the file. 12 13This package suggests you install the "ssh" package. This package 14provides the "ssh" client program, as well as the "/usr/bin/scp" 15binary you will need to be able to retrieve files from a server 16running Dropbear via SCP. 17 18Replacing OpenSSH "sshd" with Dropbear 19-------------------------------------- 20 21You will still want to have the "ssh" package installed, as it 22provides the "ssh" and "scp" binaries. When you install this 23package, it checks for existing OpenSSH host keys and if found, 24converts them to the Dropbear format. 25 26If this appears to have worked, you should be able to change over 27by following these steps: 28 291. Stop the OpenSSH server 30 % /etc/init.d/ssh stop 312. Prevent the OpenSSH server from starting in the future 32 % touch /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run 333. Modify the Dropbear defaults file, set NO_START to 0 and 34 ensure DROPBEAR_PORT is set to 22. 35 % editor /etc/default/dropbear 364. Restart the Dropbear server. 37 % /etc/init.d/dropbear restart 38 39See the Dropbear homepage for more information: 40 http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html 41 42
