ive done this once myself ... your best bet is: - install busybox into the glibc system (if you dont already have it) - build up a uClibc chroot somewhere so it has everything you need - tar up the uClibc chroot and move it to your firewall / dir - login to the firewall machine - run `bb` - run something like `rm -rf /bin /etc /lib* /opt /sbin /usr /var` - unpack the uClibc chroot tar into / (make sure to use the p option) - trying starting either dropbear or sshd - make sure you can login to the machine before exiting your bb shell of course you may want to tweak certain details and YMMV :P -mike -- [email protected] mailing list
