The Dropbear module is always extracted into the directory named /tmp/tcloop/dropbear/usr/local/etc/init.d/, which is linked also as /usr/local/etc/init.d/. During the first start, it will generate its private key and certificate that will be used for the SSL encryption.

The first run and generation of the certificates I just downloaded and installed this module. That means that this extension will be automatically extracted on every system (re)start.Īnd that’s it.
