Root access with ESX 3.x

By | February 4, 2008

Edit the sshd_config file by entering the command:

vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Look for the line called “PermitRootLogin no” and change it to “PermitRootLogin yes“

After changing the line you have to restart the host or the sshd server by running the command:

./etc/init.d/sshd restart

    And while your at it, open up bashrc and change the W in a lowercase w for the line: [ “$PS1″ = “\\s-\\v\\\$ ” ] && PS1=”[\u@\h \W]\\$ “

    this will give you the full path at the command prompt, which comes in handy when troubleshooting.
