Create new VM on Machine/treehouse

virt-clone -o template-jaunty -n foobar
virsh start foobar
virsh console foobar

Login using the default root password (ask bernie), then setup the machine:

# change root password
passwd root
# setup both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (remember to update zones)
vi /etc/network/interfaces
# change machine fqdn
vi /etc/hostname
vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
# forward mail for root to you
vi /etc/aliases
newaliases
# activate new IP and hostname
service networking restart
# install latest security/stability updates
aptitude update
aptitude full-upgrade
# generate host keys
ssh-keygen -q -N  -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -t rsa
ssh-keygen -q -N  -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -t dsa
# taa--daah!
reboot
