Title: [Solved] TC 3.5 SSH Dropbear problem
Post by: wolf_core on April 05, 2011, 05:16:25 PM

I am trying to use dropbear as a SSH server in TC 3.5 and connecting with it with PuTTY.
When i try to login dropbear ask me a username ad a password, I try with tc, root, nobody with no luck. I try also to add a password to nobody with the command "passwd nobody" but putty tell me that the password is incorrect.
So i try to use the metod listed in the previous post "Setting up SSH server (dropbear) in TC (3.5.1) using PuttyGen" but i can't login with an error "Server refused our key" even if i create .ssh dir (mkdir /home/tc/.ssh) and added authorized_keys files in it.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Luca

You must set the passwords to tc and root before you can login.
After setting the passwords, you must add
etc/passwd
etc/shadow
etc/dropbear
to /opt/.filetool.lst and do a backup.

TY gerald_clark, now my ssh connections works  :D .
The only strange thing is that if i start dropbear with /etc/init.d/dropbear start putty say "Network error: connection refused" but if I start droppear from the menu "SystemTools ->  Services -> Dropbear" all work fine.

Thanks Luca

You probably tried to start it as a normal user, root rights are needed for privileged ports.

TY curaga, using the command  sudo /etc/init.d/dropbear start all is OK  :D.

Thanks Luca
