Start SSHD (through launchd?) from CLI

How do you do this? Is it possible?

sudo sshd

doesn't seem to work (my newly-headless laptop closes the connection right away).

In case that helps.

Edit: Fixed that. Now I'm getting a "Credentials cache not found" error.

Fixed.

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

Those need to be run on the server, which is irritating when it's headless 8)
