如何在ESX3上允许root远程ssh访问

刚安装完ESX后，缺省root用户只能在console上登录，远程用ssh登录是禁止的。因此，安装完的第一件事就是允许root远程ssh登录。

这时来自Server Configuration Guide的做法

 

To change the default SSH configuration

1 Log on to the service console and acquire root privileges.

2 Change directories by entering cd /etc/ssh at the command prompt.

3 Use nano or another text editor to perform any or all of following actions, as

appropriate.

! To allow remote root logon, change the setting to yes in the following line in

the sshd_config file:

PermitRootLogin no

4 Save your changes and close the file.

5 Execute the following command to restart the SSHD service:

service sshd restart

 

另外一种方法是采用传统的发送SIGHUP的方法

先使用ps –ef|grep sshd或service sshd status找到sshd的pid, 例如839, 然后kill –HUP 839就可以了
