Do this while the VM isn't running. $ VBoxManage setextradata psyche \ "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/Protocol" TCP $ VBoxManage setextradata psyche \ "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/GuestPort" 22 $ VBoxManage setextradata psyche \ "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/HostPort" 2222 Now you can just 'ssh -p 2222 localhost' to get into that particular VM. I'd also like to say thanks for the port! It's *very* useful! - Rich -- Richard Kuhns Wintek Corporation E-mail: rjk@wintek.com 427 N 6th Street STE C Receptionist: 765-742-8428 Lafayette, IN 47901-2211 Direct Line: 765-269-8541 United States of America
