After fifteen months of hacking since our last post on the Hurd, we now
present the 64-bit Hurd on Guix.  Read all about it in this new post:

At the moment I'm stuck because I don't know the password to login to
the childhurd.

It seems that the blog post needs to be updated,
because Tanguy bumped into the same problem:

Ah thank you!  I now recall seeing that...

And what a nice email viewer.

 From my understanding, the following should work:

the proper thing to do is to override the openssh-service; I have

Yeah, I did just that (+ user account declaration) in the meantime.

Thanks. I'll need some time to experiment, as I still couldn't figure out where to place a snippet like this.

Apparently there is a whole section in the manual about how to run "The Hurd in a Virtual Machine", which I'll try to follow. That should clear up some of my misunderstandings. It seems to be clear enough.

Once again I realize how amazing is it that we can just do this! Virtualizing a whole other operating system in such an holistic way. Thanks to everyone making it possible.
