This used to work fine with the dropbear SSH server, but no longer does. I see that the recipe has this line: file://allow-nopw.patch;apply=no Any comment on why this was disabled? I think the history of this change was lost in the great packages reshuffle. Query: if I wanted to restore this behaviour, could I just have a .bbappend file with that line as apply=yes? -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
