I tried that and ... lsh spun looking for a seed file advising me to run
'lsh-make-seed', and then stopped.

'lsh-make-seed' was not available.

Maybe this is a bug?


What I saw on the VM:

### lsh spins and stops showing
[...]
Respawning ssh-daemon.
Service SSH-daemeon has started.
No seed file. Please create on by running 
lwh-make-seed -o "/var/spool/lsh/yarrow-seed-file".
lshd: No rendomness generator available.
Service ssh-daemon has been disabled.
  (Respawning too fast.)

### lsh-make-seed seems to be missing
v1 login: root
root@v1 ~# lsh-make-seed 
-bash: lsh-make-seed: command not found


guix version:
