Well, I have used Open SSH since I got my 770 (2007HE) but lately, I am confused. In the list of installable applications, I see Open SSH, Open SSH Client and Open SSH Server (originally there was only Open SSH).

Do all three of the packages need to be installed? or is Open SSH both a Client and Server (which it says if you click on it)? Of course, right now, without openssh-common, being available, nothing works.

Would I be better off installing Dropbear?

Thanks,

Bob

"openssh" is a meta package that depends on both openssh-client and openssh-server. It's just for convenience... if you need both the client and the server, you just install "openssh" and the dependencies will install the client and the server.

Meta packages only work with 2008 IIRC

sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install "what you want to install"

If something ist still missing then your sources.list is not up to date

Mine's looking for openssh-common, which is apparently a dependency of openssh-client and openssh-server...
