dropbear R.I.P !

[G_W_Albrecht]

In sk97638 Check Point Processes and Daemons under 1800 / 1600 / 1500 / 1400 / 1200R / 1100 / 900 / 700 / 600 appliances we find a list of the 4 GAiA  Embedded daemons, and the last is

dropbear	Description	LightWeight SSH server. This process does not exist starting from the R80.20.60 and R81.10 versions. This process does not exist on 900, 700, and 600 models.
	Notes	"cpwd_admin list" command shows the process as "dropbear".
	To Stop	none
	To Start	none

I can find it on my 1550 as well as on my 730 - but according to the SK, only 1500 / 1600 / 1800 with firmware lower R80.20.60 have it ? I have given feedback, but can anyone see dropbear on other models and what about R81.10.00 ?

We replaced dropbear(SSH server) with openssh (same as in MT).

effective in R80.20.60 and R81.10.00

This is mentioned in neither Release Notes nor CLI guides, no sshd based commands are listed, but still dropbear, see:

And you replaced the ssh client too 😉
