# SSH to a VM fails with "Too many authentication failures"

## Symptoms

`ssh` to a new VM stops with "Received disconnect ... Too many authentication failures".

## Cause

The SSH agent offers each of its keys before the one the VM knows. The server allows a few
tries (six by default) and closes the connection (*observed*).

## What to do

Name the key and offer only it: `ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -i KEY host`, or put
`IdentitiesOnly yes` in the host's entry of an SSH config. `emupc.py init` writes such a config.
