Umm... maybe I don't understand what you're asking... if you want to run an ssh server on the iLiad, so you can log on to the iLiad through a terminal, then you just need the "unbrickable" package, which is available in this thread.

The "unbrickable" package installs dropbear, and runs dropbear and wired dhcp networking at iLiad boot time, so you can ssh or sftp to the iLiad easily. Modifying this to simply install dropbear without running at boot time would not be too hard...

Then you can make a few simple scripts to manually turn on/off networking and dropbear... Mine look something like this:

startDropbear.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/dropbear start

stopDropbear.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/etc/init.d/dropbear stop

startlan.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
ifup eth0

and so on...
