Apple oxs Sharing Settings, International Settings, Viewing or Changing Remote Login Settings

Sharing Settings

You can use the systemsetup command to view or change settings that would otherwise be set using the Sharing pane of System Preferences.

Viewing or Changing Remote Login Settings

You can use SSH to log in to a remote server if remote login is enabled.

To see if the system is set to allow remote login:

$ sudo systemsetup -getremotelogin

To enable or disable remote login:

$ sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin (onoff)

or

$ serversetup -enableSSH

Telnet access is disabled by default because it isn’t as secure as SSH. You can, however, enable Telnet access. See “Using Telnet” on page 18.

Viewing or Changing Apple Event Response

To see if the system is set to respond to remote events:

$ sudo systemsetup -getremoteappleevents

To set the server to respond to remote events:

$ sudo systemsetup -setremoteappleevents (onoff)

To view the installed primary language:
