Bug #7015: [Documentation] Refresh user guide
Connecting to virtual machine command in ssh-access-unix does not work
Description
Having this is kind of confusing: ssh -o "ProxyCommand ssh -a -x -p2222 turnout@switchyard.localhost shell" -A -x you@shell
Its not obvious what to change here, for example, localhost I think should change to "qr1hi.arvadosapi.com" but I'm not sure.
I tried this
$ ssh -o "ProxyCommand ssh -a -x -p2222 turnout@switchyard.qr1hi.arvadosapi.com shell" -A -x arvadostutorial1092015@shell
Received disconnect from UNKNOWN: 2: Too many authentication failures for arvadostutorial1092015
I have successfully ssh'd in through changing the ssh configuration file. But I do not know how to change this command.

Bryan,
The documentation is supposed to be generated with the right hostname. For example, if you look at this page on doc.arvados.org, you'll see that it already refers to switchyard.qr1hi.arvadosapi.com.
Your version referred to localhost because that's the default API server name the documentation uses if none is specified when you generate it. Maybe we should consider changing that default instead? There's really no good value to use here, but others might make it a little more obvious that there's a placeholder.

This doesn't seem like a pressing issue, I don't really know what to do here, I'm just going to mark it as resolved to end this story.
