TMA-ESXI9-3.2
Host must deactivate the ESXi shell
Descripción
The ESXi shell is an interactive command line environment available from the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) or remotely via SSH. Activities performed from the ESXi Shell bypass all access controls, but are logged. The recommended setting for the ESXi shell is to be stopped and only started manually when needed, such as when running diagnostics or troubleshooting. The audit parses vim-cmd hostsvc/hostconfig for the TSM (ESXi Shell) service and requires startup policy "off" and the service not running. Runs in the ESXi Shell (busybox sh) as root.
