sshd on new roms

[Guest paulsmith]

Hi,

Ive finally started playing around with new roms.

Whats the easiest way to get SSHD / Drop bear onto these new 2.1 Roms.

Busybox should not be to hard - but I cannot find a link to a drop bear binary. There was a thread on XDA - but the link for dropbear is to old and give a 404 now.

Some help using the scripts that the great MoDaCo roms use for starting dropbear would be very helpful as well.

I made a school boy error and my latest nandroid backup failed (due to space on sd card). So I thought I might as well move to a new Rom.

Thanks in advance.

Working dropbear binaries are in attachment. Also included rundropbear.sh with command to start dropbear on 2222 port.

I used this tutorial to install it on ROM: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hac...roid-2-0-a.html

If you want to use dropbear with WinSCP and you have problems with ls command here's the solution: http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&amp...t&p=1225009

I managed to get drop bear ssh daemon to work following the instructions you posted.

Thanks.

Whats an easy way to ensure the daemon is running upon phone start up?

use a startscript (in /system/etc/init.d/ for example), then do

adb shell "ps|grep dropbear"

to check

Hi,

thanks for the reply. I put a script called rundropbear.sh into /system/etc/init.d/

this script simply has

dropbear -A -N root -U 0 -G 0 -C XXXX -R /etc/dropbear/authorized_keys

Upon a reboot the dropbear daemon was not running.

Using adb shell, then running the script by it launched fine.

Do you think its a permission or path problem?

I put a script called rundropbear.sh into /system/etc/init.d/

IIRC it isn't safe to assume a script in that directory will be run on boot. I think some roms do this & others don't. You'd have to check the init script in /. More than likely there will be an existing script in /system/etc/init.d that you can append yours to or use to launch yours.
