Hi
I am considering to use SSH as transport for an application protocol we are designing. Inspired by the NETCONF SSH binding rfc6242, I would like to invoke the protocol as a SSH subsystem.

I see that dropbear server does not support arbitary SSH systems. But I think it can be added quite easisly around line 640 in svr-chansession.c . A command line option "-S /path/to/dropbear/subsystems" could be added. When a subsystem "xxxx" request is received, look for executable file /path/to/dropbear/subsystems/xxxx, if found, execute it directly (not via shell).

Any thoughts on this?

Best regards
Egil Hjelmeland.
