Note

For Bering-uClibc, dropbear and dropbearkey have been compiled into one binary, just like busybox that also provides different applications in one binary. Therefore only one package (dropbear.lrp) is needed. This is a difference from other ssh applications (sshd, lshd) used with LEAF packages, where key generation utility and daemon are provided in two separate packages.

If you start with a fresh Bering-uClibc image you can skip this step because the default leaf.cfg file provided with Bering-uClibc looks like this:

LRP="root config etc local modules iptables dhcpcd keyboard shorwall ulogd dnsmasq dropbear sh-httpd weblet"

The package dropbear.lrp is loaded on startup.

If you have edited leaf.cfg in the past, and dropbear.lrp is currently not installed on your system, you can do two things:
