Hello I am trying to compile dropbrear statically: 1) configure LDFLAGS="-L/opt/nfs/vmic7750/usr/lib/ -L/opt/nfs/vmic7750/lib/" ./configure --prefix=/opt/nfs/vmic7750/usr --with-zlib=/opt/nfs/vmic7750/usr/lib/ 2) STATIC=1 LDFLAGS="-L/opt/nfs/vmic7750/usr/lib/ -L/opt/nfs/vmic7750/lib/" make PROGRAMS="dropbear dropbearkey scp" This results in an error: gcc -L/opt/nfs/vmic7750/usr/lib/ -L/opt/nfs/vmic7750/usr/lib/ -L/opt/nfs/vmic7750/lib/ -static -o dropbear dbutil.o buffer.o dss.o bignum.o signkey.o rsa.o random.o queue.o atomicio.o compat.o fake-rfc2553.o common-session.o packet.o common-algo.o common-kex.o common-channel.o common-chansession.o termcodes.o loginrec.o tcp-accept.o listener.o process-packet.o common-runopts.o circbuffer.o -lcrypt svr-kex.o svr-algo.o svr-auth.o sshpty.o svr-authpasswd.o svr-authpubkey.o svr-authpubkeyoptions.o svr-session.o svr-service.o svr-chansession.o svr-runopts.o svr-agentfwd.o svr-main.o svr-x11fwd.o svr-tcpfwd.o svr-authpam.o libtomcrypt/libtomcrypt.a libtommath/libtommath.a -lutil -lz svr-chansession.o: In function `execchild': svr-chansession.c:(.text+0x4b8): warning: Using 'initgroups' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking sshpty.o: In function `pty_setowner': sshpty.c:(.text+0x18): warning: Using 'getgrnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking common-session.o: In function `fill_passwd': common-session.c:(.text+0x9f): warning: Using 'getpwnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking dbutil.o: In function `connect_remote': dbutil.c:(.text+0x96f): warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking svr-authpasswd.o: In function `svr_auth_password': svr-authpasswd.c:(.text+0x16): warning: Using 'getspnam' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking svr-authpasswd.c:(.text+0x70): undefined reference to `crypt' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [dropbear] Error 1 3) Next attempt: add LIBS="-lcrypt" STATIC=1 LDFLAGS="-L/opt/nfs/vmic7750/usr/lib/ -L/opt/nfs/vmic7750/lib/" LIBS="-lcrypt" make PROGRAMS="dropbear dropbearkey scp" This links with a couple of warnings: Most noticable one:

On another machine, it however does not start. Error message is this: dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key dropbearkey: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by dropbear) I guess this is related to different libc's, i.e. the machine that compiled dropbear probably uses an newer version than the one executing it. Unfortunatelly, I do not get libc compiled. And I also wonder a bit, because I hoped to avoid mismatches like this by statically linking. 5) I created dropbear_[rsa|dss]_host_key on the build machine, and copied to the machine on which I want to run dropbear. /usr/sbin/dropbear starts up fine. A root login is refused however: ssh [email protected] .... The authenticity of host '192.168.1.40 (192.168.1.40)' can't be established. .... Warning: Permanently added '192.168.1.40' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. [email protected]'s password: Permission denied, please try again. ... Apparantly, dropbear does not know user root -- I wonder why however (root is defined in /etc/passwd) : Oct 16 17:01:30 192.168.1.40 dropbear[867]: Child connection from 192.168.1.59:44549 Oct 16 17:01:31 192.168.1.40 dropbear[867]: Login attempt for nonexistent user from 192.168.1.59:44549 Oct 16 17:01:32 192.168.1.40 dropbear[867]: Login attempt for nonexistent user from 192.168.1.59:44549 Oct 16 17:01:33 192.168.1.40 dropbear[867]: Login attempt for nonexistent user from 192.168.1.59:44549 Oct 16 17:01:34 192.168.1.40 dropbear[867]: Login attempt for nonexistent user from 192.168.1.59:44549 Oct 16 17:01:35 192.168.1.40 dropbear[867]: Exit before auth: Error writing Help is certainly apprecitated .-) Thanks Tilman Thanks Tilman
