[cs631apue] Connecting to Netbsd running on VM

[Brian Jefferson]

I am not sure if my issue relates to Mario's or not, but I also am having
trouble connecting to NetBSD. I created a new username as mentioned to do
in an earlier email and now when I try to ssh, its like its just waiting
for something to happen, but nothing ever does. I'm pretty sure I set it up
correctly so if anyone has any ideas that would be great.
