noob question perhaps

Hallo,

I have been following
http://elatov.github.io/2014/11/runn...in-virtualbox/
to get gentoo installed inside virtualbox.
I encounter something ..
In /etc/ssh/ssh_config I edit so that PermitRootLogin yes
and start sshd and passwd so that I can login from kitty but
with correct password it reports access denied.

Could anybody give me an idea what step I forgot?

thanks

Julian

Keys Generated? Both ports open? VBox Guest Additions?(I think you need them)

Hi,

Keys generated? - ssh generated when started, so done.

both ports open - ssh port 22 but what else?

guest additions? Should this be needed so early ? Am trying at the moment.

I got to ssh before when I did this once before but I never logged my steps.

thanks

Julian

Log in as user and su to root, this is how it is done in real life. No remote root logins.

How are the keyboards set up? If the guest is different to the host the password may not be what you think it is.
I second the above, though, log in then become root -- unless your application needs otherwise, which is fair enough.

How's the VirtualBox networking setup? I would suggest to setup something like this:

1st NIC for NAT, where you pull emerge-webrsync files from
2nd NIC host-only via vboxnet0, then setup an static IP (ie 192.168.56.2/24) to SSH on.

On VBox, the first and only NIC, by default is setup to NAT. You CANNOT ssh into that. It's ip will be something like 10.0.2.x/24. No way you can ssh into that.

Lastly, dont' forget to check that the virtual cables are plugged in. Give it an extra kick just to make sure
