Comment 5 for bug 68274

@Andreas,

As I said above, the single user mode is expressly designed to prohibit ssh access, and for good reason. Dustin's intuitive answer is right on target.

However, if you want to have ssh access in single user mode for your own installation, simply execute this command and reboot:

$ sudo echo /etc/init.d/ssh >> /etc/rc.local

This is not a bug, and it should be closed.

Happy Trails,
