can't get dropbear to work

[geethreeforce]

i can't create my host key using Olegs wl500g-1.8.1.7-2a.zip firmware

[admin@(none) sbin]$ dropbear
Failed reading '/usr/local/etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key', disabling RSA
Failed reading '/usr/local/etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key', disabling DSS

So this tells me that the keys must be created using dropbearkey but the stated directory /usr/sbin/local/dropbear/ does not exist.

How do i creat these dirs on the read-only filesystem ??
Or is there another way to start the dropbear ssh deamon.

PLEAS HELP

by creating the needed dirs in /usr/local/ (which is NOT readonly) ?
should not be too hard

Have you read "Ssh and telnet daemons" section at the wl500g.dyndns.org page? It contains step by step instructions for dropbear...

Thanks for the advise, dunno what i was doing but a few minutes after this post i managed to create the directorys and the keys.
Probably did something wrong, or changed directory to the wrong dir :D

How stupid of me ;)
