Hello,

I'd like to use my openwrt so that when I'm logged on a special user  (it's already makes here http://openwrt.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=9932#p9932 ), I can connect directly to another ssh machine.

But if I don't want to type the password, I have to create public and private keys dsa keys from openwrt.

The problem is that with dropbear, it'snot possible to create dsa keys, so I use my linux to create dsa keys, and I copy it to the .ssh of dropbear and after I copied the content of my public key in the authorized_keys of my linux client

But ot doesn't work.

I think I'm forced to create dsa keys from openwrt directly... (my linux client have dsa keys so I must create dsa keys in openwrt , I think)

I have to install openssh instead of dropbear to do that?

But openssh take a lot of spacdes more that dopbear? or it's not a problem to desinstall dropbear and to install just after openssh?

I took my precaution, and reactivate the telnet access lol (here: http://openwrt.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2101) because if I remove dropbear, and if I don't ahve telnet access anymore :-(.....lol

Thanks.

Bye

I think the dropbear client doesn't support ageng forwarding at least i didn't get it to work. But when I installed the openssh-client it works fine.

I got dropbear to work with keys on OpenWRT. I wrote a small Howto (not finished yet) at:

- http://openwrt.ertl-net.net/

Authticating with keys works fine I have that running too but the dropbear client doesn't support agent forwarding so you have to enter a password for a machine you connect to from openwrt

Hello,

What I want to do is the other side, when I connect from my openwrt to my client linux, that I don't have to type a password.

So I generat in thierry's home, the private and public key like what you say, and after, I copy the rsa public key to the authorized_keys2 but id didn't work :-(.

So I've just to install openssh-client, and I can keep drobear?

Because I'm afraid that openssh client and the client ssh of dropbear may have conflicts together....

I enabled telnet access for more security, but I want to be sure that openssh wille work lol.

Thanks.
Bye

I just installed the openssh client it doesn't overwrite the dropbear client so they coexist in peace.

Only the symlink to "ssh" gets changed to point to the openssl-client instead of the dropbearclient.

Hello,

I tried that but it didn't work.

You have generate dsa key from openwrt?

Because I don't have ssh-keygen...:-(

SO I try ti generate dsa keygen from my pc client to move to openwrt and i copied this public key in the authorized_keys2 of my client pc.

But it didn't work.

It ask again me the password when I try to connect from my openwrt to my linux client.

Thanks.
Bye
