Hey guys,
I had some people ask how to enable SSH on OS X, so here you go.
1. Open the Apple menu in the upper left corner of the screen, and select "System Preferences".
2. Under "Internet & Wireless", select "Sharing".
3. In the left column of services, enable "Remote Login".
4. Highlight the "Remote Login" service and enable access for the users you would like to have SSH access.
5. You can select all users, or specific users by selecting "Only these users:" and adding the appropriate users by clicking "+".
6. Take note of the command displayed underneath the words "Remote Login: On" in the upper middle part of the screen.
7. Write this command down as you will need it to log in from a different system.
8. If your firewall is enabled (which it is by default), you may need to restart the firewall to allow SSH communications to pass through port 22.
9. Open "System Preferences", click "Security", and restart the Firewall.
10. Test that the firewall is not blocking SSH access by going to a different system and entering the ssh login command in step 6 above.
If you cannot login, restart the firewall or reboot.
Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else. 🎉
