I posted not slackware packages but just a set of binaries without the 
instructions.  I just replaced the old packages (glibc 2.2.5 and uclibc) 
with complete slackware-type packages, which put the binaries in 
/usr/local/bin and the html help files in /usr/local/share/dropbear.

Read the instructions.  You need to generate one or two keys and put then 
in /etc/dropbear.  Also check the archives for dropbear because I probably 
discussed this.  I had some problem due to compiling busybox without a 
shadow password, I think, and discussed how to fix it.

I have two keys with different names in /etc/dropbear.  One may be enough. 
I generated them both March 2008 and have not changed them.  They are 
specific to your computer.

This is version 0.49, compiled March 2007.  There have been updates since 
then but since dbclient is working for me, and it would take time to 
figure out the shadow password business again, I have not bothered to 
compile them.

dbclient ought to work without any keys - it is just the server that needs 
the keys.  Use dbclient just like ssh.  scp also works without a key.
