cannot access esx host after installation through ssh

Hi all,

Can someone tell me, why I cannot access the esx host through ssh after fresh installation of esx? https access works.

cheers,

Ville

Thanks. The problem was quite simple: your second link explained that by default ssh access is denied for root account.
