Configuring Dropbear for port forwarding

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. check /usr/bin/dropbear.sh
2. note that option '-a' is not selected

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to see the -a option added.  Is it possible to set this -a option 
by default?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.1.8d-p3

Please provide any additional information below.
If there is no way to configure by default, what is the best way to add this?  
Remounting to rw and changing is nice, but will it be overwritten by upgrades?

Do in the terminal:

# cp /usr/bin/dropbear.sh /etc/storage
# chmod +x /etc/storage/dropbear.sh
# vi /etc/storage/dropbear.sh

add '-a' option to /etc/storage/dropbear.sh

# vi /etc/storage/start_script.sh

add the following line there:
mount -o bind /etc/storage/dropbear.sh /usr/bin/dropbear.sh

# mtd_storage.sh save

That's it! =)

Thanks, that worked for adding '-a', but tunneling still isn't working.  It 
seems that dropbear is capable of setting up a tunnel for a local socks proxy.  
Have you ever done that?

I've tried it, but haven't succeed with dropbear. If you use USB disk you can 
install openssh from the Optware repository. It possibly will be added to the 
firmware, built with new kernel.
I use openvpn for connections...
