Enable sshd in the RedHat Anaconda installer

Robbie Cannings -

To enable sshd in anaconda linux installer:

(ignore the host key problem error message)

  1. Open a shell on the console (e.g. Alt + F4)

  2. Get the IP address (ifconfig -a)

  3. Start the sshd daemon using the anaconda config

    sshd -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config.anaconda -D

  4. connect using your ssh client ssh root@${DHCP IP}
    no password required.

Remember, the shell is limited, lots of utilities don’t exist. You can scp logs etc though.
