A friend of mine here at uni wrote a much, much smaller sshd replacement he calls "dropbear". Its much, much smaller than sshd. Much smaller.

I think its very very cute. Perhaps some vendors with small memory footprints would consider implementing this kind of tiny sshd?

Several third party firmwares for the linksys wrt54g wireless AP + "router" (which, of course, is owned by brand C) implement sshd using dropbear.
