[Live-demo] allowing ssh connections

[Brian Hamlin]

A colleague of mine and I worked on this problem further..
we removed openssh-server and the previously generated keys,
   reinstalled and re-gen'd   and it worked

The previous problem had to do with not being able to read the keys 
somehow
So, no clear path to resolution, but now working here..
