bug#48739: QEMU SSH hostfwd example from manual doesn't work anymore

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Hi!

In the manual, we have an example to allow connecting to the VM via a
port forward from the host:

$(guix system vm config.scm) -nic 
user,model=virtio-net-pci,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22

Unfortunately, I cannot get this to work anymore, using a very simple
operating system with following openssh-configuration:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(service openssh-service-type
            (openssh-configuration
             (permit-root-login #t)
             (allow-empty-passwords? #t)
             (log-level 'debug)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I've used port 3333 as the childhurd VM is already using 10022 by
default, like so:

$ /gnu/store/qgaihb9i6n8m96m6prrcgywwxfjyqy99-run-vm.sh -nic 
user,hostfwd=tcp::3333-:22

And tried connecting with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ssh -vvvvvv root@localhost -p3333

Inside the guest, /var/log/secure doesn't show any activity so it
doesn't seem to be reached.

Am I doing something wrong?
