There seems to be a problem with dropbear in the latest versions of SliTaz. Dropbear is working fine for me on older setups from until about a month ago, even after doing recent system upgrades.

But on new systems which i have installed from the cooking-20100221 cd, when i use dropbear to ssh to another computer on my home network, the tty or xterm screen still shows me the local machine instead of the remote one. The appearance is that ssh didn't work at all, but then if i do "$ ps" i can see that the process is indeed running, and i also have to "$ exit" to leave that phantom ssh session ... but on the tty or xterm screen nothing different happens.
