Branch: pkgsrc-2010Q2, Version: 0.52, Package name: dropbear-0.52, Maintainer: snj

The search for a small Secure Shell server to fit on a laptop with 4
megs ram and no hard disk was fruitless, so Matt Johnston decided to
write his own, and Dropbear is the result. It implements various
features of the SSH 2 protocol, including X11 and Authentication Agent
forwarding. Dropbear is Open Source software, distributed under a
MIT-style license. It includes a server, client and tools to
generate server keys and to convert OpenSSH keys for Dropbear.

Features

* A small memory footprint - Dropbear can compile to a 110kB
statically linked binary with uClibc (and only minimal options
selected).
* Implements X11 forwarding, and authentication-agent forwarding
for OpenSSH clients
* Compatible with OpenSSH ~/.ssh/authorized_keys public key
authentication
* Features can easily be disabled when compiling to save space.
* Preliminary TCP forwarding support (-L style only)
