dropbear Write failed: Broken pipe

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login on droid over telnet
2. Verifing that $uid and $gid are correctlly set from my .bashrc
3. Starting dropbear by : "dropbear -A -N username -U $uid -G $gid -C password 
-d ~/.ssh/dropbear_dss_host_key -r ~/.ssh/dropbear_rsa_host_key -E -p 8090 -P 
sshd.pid"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I found a solution, but it requires root.

First of all, while setting up the server, don't use ~/.ssh/dropbear... to feed 
in the host keys. Rather use the full path /data/data/com.spartacusrex.... 
(this is because we will run the command as su, and it has a different home 
folder)

then you run the command like this: su - -c "..."

in the end it should look like this

su - -c "dropbear -A -N username -U 10058 -G 10058 -C password -d 
/data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/files/.ssh/dropbear_dss_host_key -r 
/data/data/com.spartacusrex.spartacuside/files/.ssh/dropbear_rsa_host_key -F -E 
-p 8090 -P PidFile"

this will set up the host for user 10058, change it according to your own id. 
You better put this whole thing into an alias in your .bashrc file

This whole setup is for the server side (phone), connecting is the same for 
client side, now it should work, happy sshing :)


+1 on OP's commment, great job of spartacusrex. Only thing I wish was disabling 
the swipe gesture for switching terminal windows, I always switch windows 
unintentionally, while trying to scroll vertically :)
