+ Poky ships with two SSH servers you can use in your images: Dropbear and OpenSSH.
+ Dropbear is a minimal SSH server appropriate for resource-constrained environments,
+ while OpenSSH is a well-known standard SSH server implementation.
+ By default, poky-image-sato is configured to use Dropbear.
+ The poky-image-basic and poky-image-lsb images both include OpenSSH.
+ To change these defaults, edit the <filename>IMAGE_FEATURES</filename> variable
+ so that it sets the image you are working with to include ssh-server-dropbear
+ or ssh-server-openssh.
