I want OSX to always have sshd running. This means start it on boot and keep it going.
Turning on "Remote Login" is not enough, because it does not run at start-up, and it decides to turn itself off at random times.
There are a bunch of conflicting articles on StackOverflow, most of them out-of-date, most of them talking about keeping *ssh* alive, not *sshd*
I came up with this solution to put the following in /Library/LaunchAgents
It seemed to work, but sshd will still shut down. And now sshd is completely broke. When I try to log in, even from localhost, I am instantly disconnected.
I'm not sure where the best logs are, but I found this in console:
Any way to proceed? Even manually toggling sshd off and on does not fix this.
