No, this is not a minor issue. It's a real but that must be fixed.
Thanks for pointing out.

Please feel free to submit patches.

I really would like to receive more community feedback for the ELDK.
All contributions are welcome!

That would be part of the "hwdata" RPM...

I don't think this is a good idea. xinetd is a pretty heavy program,
and we tend to avoid it in many embedded confogirations where it is
not really needed. To run dropbear as SSH daemon, all you need to do
is start it from /etc/rc.d/rc.local or so.  YMMV...

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
