I see you found the instructions before I added them to my packages.

I do not have an /etc/ssh.  Try using dropbear without it and report back.

You can also look for help at the dropbear site itself.

Try dbclient instead of ssh.  It is much smaller.

Please read my discussion in the BL archives and remind me what I had to 
do to get version 0.49 to work with my wrongly compiled busybox shadow 
password, and I might compile 0.52 (uclibc and glibc 2.3.6).  Nov. 2008. 
About 1.7MB download.  Try compiling it yourself for libc5 (maybe Steven 
will do it - I had very poor luck compiling for libc5).
