Linux/OMAP-L138: Dropbear bublic key authentication

Part Number: OMAP-L138

Tool/software: Linux

Hello,

Due to the attacks by "Mirai" and equal, we're forced to increase the safety of our measuring devices which mainly are connected to 4g-modem/router with WiFi or ethernet and accessed from internet through port forwarding.Devices are  OMAPL138- based devices and are runnin Linux 3.3.0. We're concentrating all traffic to port 22 SSH which in OMAP- side is realized with dropbear. Communication works fine but we've faced problems with key authentication.

We've carefully been following instruction in  "wiki.openwrt.org/.../dropbear.public-key.auth"  and a number of related google-traces. Clients tried are MinGW and WinSCP in Windows and Virtualbox/Ubuntu terminal - results are the same from all clients...no connection.

Starting Dropbear with -E does not produce any valuable information. 

Below is the ssh -vvv listing of the connection trial - I would very much appreciate if someone familiar with SSH/Dropbear could check it.

Best Regards,

Risto
