dropbear (SSH server and client) Dropbear is a relatively small SSH 2 server and client. It runs on a variety of POSIX-based platforms. Dropbear is open source software, distributed under a MIT-style license. Dropbear is particularly useful for "embedded"-type Linux (or other Unix) systems, such as wireless routers. Please note the Dropbear distribution includes a standalone version of OpenSSH's scp program. This SlackBuild will NOT link this by default, thus creating a package which will not conflict with OpenSSH's scp binary. If you want to link dropbear's scp binary, use: WITH_SCP=yes ./dropbear.SlackBuild Installing the package built with WITH_SCP=yes will overwrite this file with a symbolic link to the dropbearmulti binary, so a backup of /usr/bin/scp will be made if it exists. After uninstalling dropbear, you can restore the backup with 'mv /usr/bin/scp.openssh /usr/bin/scp'. Installing the package built with WITH_SCP=no will create a symbolic link /usr/bin/scp.dropbear pointing to the dropbearmulti binary.
