| Dropbear for Debian |
| ------------------- |
| |
| This package will attempt to listen on port 22. If the OpenSSH |
| package ("ssh") is installed, the file /etc/default/dropbear |
| will be set up so that the server does not start by default. |
| |
| You can run Dropbear concurrently with OpenSSH 'sshd' by |
| modifying /etc/default/dropbear so that "NO_START" is set to |
| "0" and changing the port number that Dropbear runs on. Follow |
| the instructions in the file. |
| |
| This package suggests you install the "ssh" package. This package |
| provides the "ssh" client program, as well as the "/usr/bin/scp" |
| binary you will need to be able to retrieve files from a server |
| running Dropbear via SCP. |
| |
| Replacing OpenSSH "sshd" with Dropbear |
| -------------------------------------- |
| |
| You will still want to have the "ssh" package installed, as it |
| provides the "ssh" and "scp" binaries. When you install this |
| package, it checks for existing OpenSSH host keys and if found, |
| converts them to the Dropbear format. |
| |
| If this appears to have worked, you should be able to change over |
| by following these steps: |
| |
| 1. Stop the OpenSSH server |
| % /etc/init.d/ssh stop |
| 2. Prevent the OpenSSH server from starting in the future |
| % touch /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run |
| 3. Modify the Dropbear defaults file, set NO_START to 0 and |
| ensure DROPBEAR_PORT is set to 22. |
| % editor /etc/default/dropbear |
| 4. Restart the Dropbear server. |
| % /etc/init.d/dropbear restart |
