Topic: sshd config files?

I need to add something to my ssh deamon config file but I can't seem to find it... usually it's in /etc/sshd/ but this directory doesn't exist so whaere is it in this distribution?

openwrt uses dropbear as default sshserver. the configfile is /etc/config/dropbear but i think you can only set the port and if passwordlogin is allowed.  maybe you can modify the startskript /etc/init.d/dropbear for your needs, but i don't know which arguments are available
another way is to install the openssh-server package and you will have a full-featured ssh-server with the standard-configfiles

Thanks, do you know by any chance is openssh-server is available on the reduced ipkg from the micro distribution?

The discussion might have continued from here.
