Dropbear for Debian ------------------- This package will attempt to setup the Dropbear SSH server to listen on port 22. This package suggests you install the "openssh-client" package, which provides the ssh(1) client program, as well as the `/usr/bin/scp` binary which is required in order to retrieve files via SCP from a server running Dropbear. Replacing OpenSSH "sshd" with Dropbear -------------------------------------- You will still want to have the "openssh-client" package installed, as it provides the ssh(1) and scp(1) binaries. When you install this package, it checks for existing OpenSSH host keys and if found, converts them to Dropbear's own format. If this appears to have worked, you should be able to change over by following these steps: 1. Stop the OpenSSH server % systemctl stop ssh 2. Prevent the OpenSSH server from starting in the future % touch /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run 3. Optionally edit /etc/default/dropbear with custom options. 4. Restart the Dropbear server. % systemctl restart ssh See the Dropbear homepage for more information: https://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html
