Comment # 16 on bug 917385 from Stefan Dirsch

I need access via ssh to an installed system. Tried this one

# qemu-kvm -cdrom
/mounts/dist/install/SLE-12-Desktop-GM/SLE-12-Desktop-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1.iso
-drive file=/test/qemu.img -boot order=dc -m 1024M -net
user,hostname=test,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22

# ssh -v -p 5555 localhost
OpenSSH_6.2p2, OpenSSL 1.0.1k 8 Jan 2015

That's it. ssh ports in firewall are openend. sshd is running. Without ssh
access to a qemu VM I cannot debug this issue. It's that simple.
