Mac OS X and sshd

To ssh into a mac you need to turn this service on which is very easy.

From the terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
$ ssh localhost
>ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

Now go to '/Applications/System Preferences.app' -> 'Sharing' then enable 'Remote Login'


Now Try ssh again:
$ ssh localhost
