I need a back-door into my own router. I have already had a couple of times where dropbear dies. Everything else is fine, but I can't login remotely.
How can I turn telnet back on? The normal WR 0.9 behaviour is in play that it stops working once I set a password.

Ah, found it. Had to edit /bin/login and comment out the exit 0 statement. My followup problem is figuring out how to make it check for password instead of dropping right to root shell.
I suppose alternatively I could start another dropbear on an alternate port. So if one dies I still have the backup.
