I have compiled dbclient scp dropbear dropbearkey for version 0.49, both dynamically against glibc 2.2.5 using gcc 2.95.3 and statically against uclibc 0.9.27.

I am not a computer professional and do not have and have never set up openssh. I use a small slackware-based 'basiclinux' that came without ssh. dbclient and scp work fine (kernel 2.4.31). I don't have dropbear working.

The instructions in README say to use dropbearkey to generate rsa and dss keys and put them in /etc/dropbear. Do I also need to make and put public keys there? The instructions tell me only how to use dropbear -y to display the public part of the key on the screen.

Please could someone write a very brief instruction for beginners on how to set up dropbear, assuming you don't already have openssh keys, to add to or supplement README.

If I type dropbear (Enter) and then try to use dbclient or ssh to access my own computer via its IP number (from a shell account or locally using the loopback IP number 127.0.0.1) it won't accept my password after asking for it.

ssh tells me Permission denied, please try again.
dbclient just asks again for the password.

I am trying to access my own computer with dbclient (and eventually access it with ssh from a mac and puTTy from Windows so as to share a modem connection). Do I need both private keys?

Using lynx, I cannot choose which topics to receive emails about at the website.
