Thanks for gist!

In some cases dropbear is in another dir.
For keenetic routers running opernwrt (xkeen) location is /opt/etc/dropbear

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$#" -ne 1 ]; then
  echo "Example: ${0} [email protected]"
  exit 1
fi

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh ${1} "cat >> /opt/etc/dropbear/authorized_keys && chmod 0600 /opt/etc/dropbear/authorized_keys && chmod 0700 /opt/etc/dropbear"
