Bug Description
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
The manpage is wrong. Currently it reads
To redirect telnet connections from host port 5555 to telnet
port on the guest, use the following:
but the correct syntax is -net user,hostfwd=
Also, the documentation should mention that you *need* a -net nic for a -net user. That took me hours to figure out.
