Read and act! This is important!!!!
Please use secure passwords for your virtual machines! The port
forwarding enables the big evil world to see and access these
machines. You MUST use a secure password for the virtual machines if
you have enabled port forwarding through power!
ACT NOW: the next time you start your virtual machine... change the
password using passwd or disable ssh login via passwords and ONLY use
public key (set "#PasswordAuthentication yes" to
"PasswordAuthentication no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config ... note the #.
restart the sshd then).
IF YOUR VIRTUAL MACHINE IS RUNNING RIGHT NOW: do it NOW!
BR,
Tobias
