Generating Dropbear SSH keys

  • To create a new RSA key to store in /.ssh/id_rsa.db, you can use the following command:
 dropbearkey -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id\_rsa.db

 scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub host:.ssh/authorized_keys2
  • The public key part of the new key will be printed to the screen. You can put it into the /.ssh/authorized_keys file on all machines where you want to be able to login using your new private key stored in /.ssh/id_rsa.db.
