My bad. Running sshd directly seems to not let incoming SSH connections complete fully. Instead of /usr/sbin/sshd, run:

service ssh start

as the root user. Voila!

Billo, we want to do it via command line because we’re not trying to freak out our users.

To enable SSH from ARD:

Run the following UNIX command as the user “root” on the target machine:

/usr/libexec/sshd-keygen-wrapper -i

(This creates the SSH keys.You might get an error; no worries.)

Then run this command as the user “root” on the target machine:
/usr/sbin/sshd

Then SSH in.

Well, if you have ARD, why not just open System Preferences, go to sharing, and start remote login?

I have apple remote desktop set up, is there a way to send a unix command via ARD to start up “remote login” so i can ssh to their computers?
