Enable SSH on ESXi

Enable SSH on ESXi

Access the console of the ESXi server and logon. And enter Technical Support mode. To enter Technical support mode do the following:

ALT-F1
type UNSUPPORTED and press return.

When you are logged on to the console use the following command

vi /etc/inetd.conf

Look for the following line and remove the # from the line

#ssh stream tcp nowait root /sbin/dropbearmulti

Save the file.

In order to make it work we need to kill the networking process.

cat /var/run/inetd/pid

4864 (example of process id)

kill -HUP 4864

Now you should be able to log on as root through SSH
