This one has been around for a while but I thought I would document it on my blog as I just used it and there is a growing demand for 3i help due to it now being free !
How to enable SSH on VMware ESX 3i.
After reading the VMTN forum use the following steps to enable SSH
- From the console press ALT-F1
- Type unsupported and press ENTER
- Enter the root password
- Enter the following command vi /etc/inetd.conf
- Search for the #SSH settings
- Remove the # from the SSH row
- Save the config by using :wq!
- Type ps | grep inetd on the console
- Send a hangup signal by using the following command kill -s HUP
You can now use Putty to SSH to your 3i server.
