I'm having an issue with my Mac where it's freezing on the initial login.

How can I enable ssh without using going into system preferences, etc.

systemsetup -setremotelogin on

I got this from the templates in Apple Remote Desktop.

Of course you have to login to run this in a terminal. If you can't even get that far you can boot to single-user mode by holding Apple-S. From there you should be able to mount your root partition (directions are given on the console when you start single-user mode) and run the systemsetup command. – Cocoabean May 24 '11 at 21:10
