help with dropbear config

Sorry... I had posted this in nslu2-general by mistake. I'm looking 
for some advice here...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

How do I fix this? I tried setting the home directory of user "sha" to
/share/hdd/data/sha with (owner=sha, group=sha), but I still could not
log in. I looked at the ownership of /share and it is set to
owner=amdin, group=everyone.

Where should I be putting the home directory?

cheers,
S.
