Miscellaneous Mac Tips

Mac Tips If remote login is not enabled, and an ssh session to the machine

If remote login is not enabled, and an ssh session to the machine is not possible, then a visit to the machine is required to enable both "Remote Login" and "Remote Management". These are located in the "Sharing" option in "System Preferences." Make sure these options are only available to CSCF's admin account on the machine.

If remote login is enabled, ssh into your administrator account on the Mac.

To view the settings for Screen Sharing, run the following command.

defaults read /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.screensharing.plist

If the "Disabled" property is set to '1', then type the following command to "enable" screen sharing.

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.screensharing.plist Disabled '0'

Once screen sharing is enabled, the screen sharing service will require a restart. The following command restarts the screen sharing service.

sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.screensharing.plist
