is anybody using or does anybody know someone using Dropbear - a relatively small SSH server/client?
Dropbear was originally added to have an SSH client without libpam dependencies to allow it being part of initrd - mainly for network boot on s390. But among others the introduction of IUCV made the use case obsolete.
Since openSUSE is not really targeted at really small systems I am wondering if the package still has a purpose for openSUSE?
