73
-
user accounts and home directories will not be available. You can

will forward host port 2222 to guest port 22 (SSH):
73
+
user accounts and home directories will not be available unless you
74
+
have set <literal>mutableUsers = false</literal>. Another way is to

users.extraUsers.your-user.initialPassword = "test"

82

have started the virtual machine at least once without the right
83
+
users, otherwise the changes will not get picked up.
