Hello John,
well, I followed closely your instructions and it worked this time.
I have no idea why it failed the first time I tried it since I had basically
the same steps (just a different path to the private key), which worked when
I tried again...
It breaks down to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ ssh -x [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dropbearkey -y -t dss -f
/etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key | tail -2 | head -1"
>>~/.ssh/authorized_keys
and then:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] # ssh -i /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key [EMAIL
PROTECTED]
Thanks.

Subject: RE: Dropbear key problem
...
I have previously put the public key I got from
dropbearkey -y -t dss -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
into [EMAIL PROTECTED]:.ssh/authorized_keys
In my local ~/.ssh I have only the files authorized_keys and known_hosts.
The private keys are in /etc/dropbear/dropbear_*_host_key
Does that matter ? I tried with both rsa and dss key...

You need to generate a user private and public key. See:
http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/ for a general overview.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.ssh$ dropbearkey -t rsa -f id_rsa
Will output 1024 bit rsa secret key to 'id_rsa'
Generating key, this may take a while...
Public key portion is:
ssh-rsa
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAgwCxVe533yHtWgb11j+L6zHIRllDIp3xR3nEB3Jxjw9ZUXHXZGgXk/A06sd3AF4sUbo3YvRIuj5EzDfjy1SAUrpD3b4WU9bayoTie3LJ6FU5TSEySOWvrkW/4/iuFUAvry0G1ISlMEMqpLvoSx6JcE/UL4JoKIUzM2jnordtyR9gn53r
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fingerprint: md5 5a:d7:ef:84:aa:40:11:4e:d5:3d:17:0d:b2:30:b0:8b
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.ssh$ dropbearkey -y -f id_rsa
Public key portion is:
ssh-rsa
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAgwCxVe533yHtWgb11j+L6zHIRllDIp3xR3nEB3Jxjw9ZUXHXZGgXk/A06sd3AF4sUbo3YvRIuj5EzDfjy1SAUrpD3b4WU9bayoTie3LJ6FU5TSEySOWvrkW/4/iuFUAvry0G1ISlMEMqpLvoSx6JcE/UL4JoKIUzM2jnordtyR9gn53r
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Fingerprint: md5 5a:d7:ef:84:aa:40:11:4e:d5:3d:17:0d:b2:30:b0:8b
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.ssh$ dropbearkey -y -f id_rsa > id_rsa.pub
Then edit id_rsa.pub so that there is a single line (note it is broken up
here):
ssh-rsa
AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAAAgwCxVe533yHtWgb11j+L6zHIRllDIp3xR3nEB3Jxjw9ZUXHXZGgXk/A06sd3AF4sUbo3YvRIuj5EzDfjy1SAUrpD3b4WU9bayoTie3LJ6FU5TSEySOWvrkW/4/iuFUAvry0G1ISlMEMqpLvoSx6JcE/UL4JoKIUzM2jnordtyR9gn53r
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then append that key id_rsa.pub on the remote machine to
/home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys
cat id_rsa.pub >> /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys
