Dropbear SSH -> OpenSSH

Hi Folks,

I have a small computer that has only DropbearSSH client and I would like to ssh into my server with a rsa key file, without a password prompt.

I played around with conversions:
dropbearconvert dropbear openssh /etc/dropbear/dropbear_key /etc/dropbear/openssh_key

Each time my script asks for password.

So how can I generate a passwordless key file with dropbear?

I generated the key like this:

Code:#!/bin/bash

KEY="/home/root/.ssh/id_dropbear"
PUB="/home/root/.ssh/id_dropbear.pub"

if [ -f "$KEY" ];then
rm "$KEY"
fi

if [ -f "$PUB" ];then
rm "$PUB"
fi

dropbearkey -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_dropbear
dropbearkey -y -f /home/root/.ssh/id_dropbear | tail -n2 | head -n1 > /home/root/.ssh/id_dropbear.pub

exit 0Copied the puplic portion into my OpenSSH server's authorised_keys file

Code:ssh -i /home/root/.ssh/id_dropbear -p $PORT $USER@$IPAnd it still asks for the password.

Thanks,

Zolee
