			To get ssh access to the emulated machine use the following options for qemu:
			<tt>-user-net -redir tcp:5555:10.0.2.15:22</tt>
			This redirects connections to the local machine, the acl, on port 5555 to the virtual machine on port 22 (ssh). Now, once the virtual machine has booted use the command:<tt> ssh -p 5555 root@localhost</tt>

[http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ qemu] is an open-source x86 processor emulator that allows the execution of a virtual machine, which is an operating system within an operating system.

qemu is installed on all the ACLs in <tt>/usr/local/bin/qemu</tt>. For kernel work, a generic image based on [http://fedora.redhat.com/ Fedora Core 4] is available on the ACLs at /var/lib/systemimager/qemu/fc4.img. The sysadmins have prepared a local copy for each person in CS420, with the following mapping of ACL to user:

{| border="1" cellpadding="2"
! username !! ACL
|-
| charliep || codd
|-
| copelco || acl0
|-
| brownda || acl1
|-
| davidje || acl7
|-
| ferraza || acl6
|-
| hunteke || acl9
|-
| lemanal || acl10
|-
| kernco || acl4
|-
| smithsh1 || acl3
|-
| tmcnulty || acl2
|-
| weissto || acl5
|}

To boot the image, login to the ACL either directly or via [[Remote_Access#ssh|ssh]]. <tt>cd</tt> to <tt>/p0/''yourusername''</tt>, and then run <tt>qemu -hda fc4.img</tt>. You might want to make a backup copy of <tt>fc4.img</tt> so you don't have to recopy it from image.

You will login as root. You can get the password from one of the sysadmins or Charlie.
