Hi, I'm using dropbear on my server because it uses few resources (yay!). To connect to it, I'm using the OpenSSH client. This client has a feature for sharing the same network connection among several sessions. This is nice if you log in from several xterms, because the login will be instantaneous.
I'm talking about the ControlMaster/ControlPath options of ssh (see man ssh_config) When I try to use this feature with dropbear, it will deconnect all sessions when one session is closed. Is it possible that the connection sharing will be supported by dropbear in the future. (Or is is already and I'm doing something wrong?). I would like to help if I can, but I am not a great C coder. Am I wrong in thinking this would just involve a simple check whether the client uses connection sharing, and only dropping the connection when there are no other sessions left? Or is it more complicated? Cheers, Stephan
