As a part of my GSoC project I am currently working on a piece of software that is called rescue-initramfs. If installed it installs dropbear (SSH), some filesystem tools, micro-evtd and uboot-envtools to the ramdisk. This enables people to login to their box even if the rootfs didn't come up properly. A typical use case is for users that have installed Debian on their NAS device and don't have a serial console attached.
Where does the SSH server get the passwords/keyfiles from? Does it put /etc/shadow in the initramfs? -- David Härdeman
