Alternatively, instead of the reboot, you could type "/etc/init.d/dropbear stop; /etc/init.d/dropbear start" and then log back in.

Also, installing openssh-sshd will only give you the ssh daemon; you'll also want to install the other openssh packages (openssh-ssh and openssh-scp come to mind).

(Request for clarification - why the screen -dm - is that just to achieve the same sort of thing as nohup?) Yes.

1. Run 'ipkg install openssh-sshd'. If it complains about a conflict with dropbear just use -force-depends.
   

1. ipkg install openssh (or just openssh_sshd). If it complains about a conflict with dropbear just use -force-depends.
   

1. Run 'ipkg install openssh-sshd'. (You may need -force-depends with this)
   

1. ipkg install openssh (or just openssh_sshd). (You may need -force-depends with this)
   

[Then you get a message saying you can't install openssh because it conflicts with dropbear. And then what do you do? (openslug) jcc- 6/8/2006]

Voila! You're now running openssh sshd.

Method 1:

1. Run 'ipkg remove dropbear'.
   

Method 2: (rebootless, using screen)

1. ipkg update
   
2. ipkg install dropbear screen
   
3. Change DROPBEAR_PORT parameter in /etc/init.d/dropbear from default 22 to other port number.
   
4. screen -dm /etc/init.d/dropbear restart (This will kill your current ssh session)
   
5. ssh to the new port number.
   
6. ipkg install openssh (or just openssh_sshd)
   
7. run /etc/init.d/sshd start (It will take forever while sshd generates a key. It's not hung)
   
8. logout, and ssh to port 22
   
9. ipkg remove dropbear

Voila! You're now running openssh sshd.

1. ipkg update
   
2. ipkg install dropbear (To make sure you have the latest version of dropbear installed first)
   
3. Change DROPBEAR_PORT parameter in /etc/init.d/dropbear from default 22 to other port number.
   
4. Reboot.
   
5. ssh to the new port number.
   
6. Run 'ipkg install openssh-sshd'.
   
7. Reboot. (Remember, this will take a long time, since sshd has to generate a new host key)
   
8. ssh to port 22, you are now connected to OpenSSH sshd.
   
9. Run 'ipkg remove dropbear'.

5. Reboot.
6. ssh to port 22, you are now connected to OpenSSH? sshd.
7. Run 'ipkg remove dropbear'.

1. Change DROPBEAR_PORT parameter in /etc/init.d/dropbear from default 22 to other port number.
2. Reboot.
3. ssh to the new port number.
4. Run 'ipkg install openssh-sshd'.
5. Reboot. You are now connected to OpenSSH? sshd.
6. Run 'ipkg remove dropbear'.
