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

Several third party firmwares for the linksys wrt54g wireless AP + "router" (which, of course, is owned by brand C) implement sshd using dropbear. For example, the ones at sveasoft, and at h.vu.wifi-box.net
