Turn off ESXi 4.1 SSH warnings

After patching the hosts on our VCenter last night I noticed the hosts we have that are still running esxi 4.1 were now showing a warning stating: "SSH for the Host has been enabled".


I don't know why this is not fixed in a patch from VMware since they now support SSH being turned on but it is what it is.  The way to turn this off is to go into the configuration of each host, click on advanced settings, UserVars and scroll down and find "UserVars.SuppressShellWarning".  Change the value to 1.

Happy Virtualizing!
