{
name = "…";
nodes.machines = { /* … */ };
sshBackdoor.enable = true;
interactive.sshBackdoor.enable = true;
}
```
::: {.warning}
Make sure to only enable the backdoor for interactive tests
(i.e. by using `interactive.sshBackdoor.enable`)! This is the only
supported configuration.
Running a test in a sandbox with this will fail because `/dev/vhost-vsock` isn't available
in the sandbox.
:::
This creates a [vsock socket](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/vsock.7.html)
for each VM to log in with SSH. This configures root login with an empty password.
