dropbear

I am trying to understand dropbear... I have understood what is for, but can you let me know how can I make it open different shell depending on the command line argument

I suggest you explain yourself a bit more clearly if you want any meaningful help/answers to your questions. At this point I'm not understanding the question.

Actually I need the dropbear to call a different shell, depending on the command line argument I give... For ex - If I give command line argument as tcpdump, it should call a different shell, instead of the regular shell that it would call from /etc/passwd.

Please can you tell me that in the dropbear source code, where is the exact point at which the shell to be called and the command to be executed is fetched...

I'm not sure as to the reason for your question? Your query is about the source code and why? Details?

'How to Ask Questions the Smart Way' would be one link you should look at to help us to help you in the future.

'UseDropBearForRemoteAccess' HOWTO maybe of some help for usage if that's what your asking.

It would help if you show us what you are attempting.
