Mac OS X is BSD-based. It includes OpenSSH. Set up the ssh daemon on the machines that you need to remotely administrate. When you need to shut one down, just open a terminal and run the shutdown command remotely. I do not know how the mac desktop environment responds to a pending shutdown (such as warning the user), so some experimentation may be necessary before widespread implementation.

If I remember correctly and OS X comes with OpenSSH installed, then you already have the client and server. OpenSSH is supported on most platforms. If you want to use SSH from Windows, it's easiest to use the freely available PuTTY.

Technically, MAC is an abbreviation for "Media Access Control address." Macintosh can be abbreviated Mac or mac.
As for shutting down your mac remotely, go to System Preferences > Sharing and check the Remote Login box. Then SSH into your machine remotely and run the command "shutdown -h now". Last edited by titaniumdecoy; Nov 13th, 2006 at 8:27 PM. |

The above works great, except the Macs upstairs won't respond. Its says after I type the Super-User Password that it was wrong.
 Not sure what to do. |

Never mind. No root was configured apparently. The guy who made the image didn't do his job...
