First: After the .sh extension, much of this is un-necessary. I've created a launcher that launches dropbear (and starts wlan while at it). This is way safer -- no risk of bricking your iliad (at least as far as I know), and better for battery life and security because you don't start dropbear until you are going to use it. If anyone is interested, I can post it here. But first I have to get it working, which leads nicely to the second paragraph:

I can't login. I get "Server refused our key". I've generated a 1024 bit RSA key using Putty (yes, I'm a windowsluser), saved it where it should be etc. Everything seems to be in order, but I still can't log in...

Can anyone help me out here? What kind of key do you need to generate? DSA? RSA? Different bit length? Dropbear specific files?
