Livebox (Inventel DV4210) Filesystem Dropbear Server

To add an SSH (Dropbear) Server, you need to do the following,

  • Copy Dropbear multi-call binary to /bin with permissions of 777.
  • Create symlink to dropbearmulti in /bin called dropbear with permissions of 777.
  • Create symlink to dropbearmulti in /bin called dropbearkey with permissions of 777.
  • Delete any files that exist in /etc_ro_fs
  • Copy Dropbear startup script to /etc_ro_fs/init.d with permissions of 777.
  • Create symlinks with relative paths (..\init.d\) to dropbear_server in /etc_ro_fs/rc0.d, /etc_ro_fs/rc1.d and /etc_ro_fs/rc2.d called
    S41dropbear_server
    with permissions of 777.

    • When the Livebox boots it will automatically start the dropbear (SSH) server.

    The source for the dropbearmulti binary is available here.
