Package: dropbear Version: 2014.65-1 Severity: normal After installing dropbear and adding DROPBEAR=y to initramfs.conf, the system starts with dropbear listening on port 22/tcp alright. Yay!
Even the SSH authorized_keys file is pre-populated, which is also a nice touch. Unfortunately, though, root login does not work. The reason is discerned from running dropbear with -F -E and then seeing [149] Jan 27 04:05:09 User account 'root' is locked I had a look around, and I think the problem is simply that /etc/passwd defines /root as root's homedir, whereas initramfs mounts the target system there at some stage! Changing the homedir to /root/root enables logging in, but obviously requires /root to be mounted. Maybe the best would be to create /roothome during setup for the purpose of this package? Note that this applies to the stable package, i.e. before the dropbox-initramfs split-off. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
