Re: RFS: arno-iptables-firewall/2.0.3-1 [ITA]

Hello Team,

I managed to run autopkgtest through ssh to a Virtualbox VM.

Steps:

Set up an minimal VM by selecting ssh server from debian installer with
user testbed and password xxxxxx where testbed is capable to sudo.

Copy your local ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to /home/testbed/.ssh/authorizes_keys
on the VM.

You should now be able to ssh into the VM, details depend on your
virtual network configuration. In my enviroment a simple 'ssh sid' does
the job. By testing this your local enviroment learns the VM's host
key.

A this point you may want to take a snapshot of the VM to rollback to 
after a test.

You then can run autopkgtest by:
autopkgtest arno-iptables-firewall_2.0.3-1_amd64.changes -- ssh
--capability=isolation-machine --capability=root-on-testbed
-P xxxxxx -H sid

As Aleksey mentioned in his latest post running the test blocks the
VM's ssh port in the end. Fortunately the firewall does not block
already established connections, so the test performs flawlessy.

After each autopkgtest the testbed needs to be restored, by rolling
back the VM to the snapshot you took before, or by executing 'sudo dpkg
--purge arno-iptables-firewall' on the VM's console.

Best,
Sven
