[Bug 474969] [NEW] Documentation error: hostfwd syntax wrong

[Muelli]

Public bug reported:

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:

                       # on the host
                       qemu -net user,hostfwd=tcp:5555::23 [...]
                       telnet localhost 5555

but the correct syntax is -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2223-:22

Also, the documentation should mention that you *need* a -net nic for a
-net user. That took me hours to figure out.
