Activate SSH on ESXi

I don't care why you need SSH on ESXi, here is the way. (I need it for this one)

You need physical Access to your Server.
 
1. At your ESXi Server press ALT+F1
2. Enter "unsupported" and press Enter
3. You will see a Warning and a password promt. Enter root password.
4. ~# will show up.
5. Now edit the inetd conf file. vi /etc/inetd.conf

Find the Lines beginning with #ssh and remove the # (pointer to the # and press x. then press :x)

6. run   ps | grep inetd  (For German users: | is on AltGr + $ in english keyboard)

the output will be something like this:

2456 2456 busybox         inetd

enter that:

kill -HUP 2456

I assume you change the Process ID with yours.

7. SSH enabled. user: root password: your Root password
