How to enable ssh for esxi

1) At the console press ALT-F1
2) type* *unsupported in the console and press Enter.(You will not see the
text)
3) If you typed in unsupported correctly, you will see a command line login.
Enter the password for the root login.
4) Edit the file inetd.conf ** and find the line that begins with #ssh and
remove the #.
6) restart the inetd services by running the command* /*sbin/services.sh
restart
