SSH is ready to go - just tick Remote Login in System Preferences > Sharing

Thanks, that works, though for some reason I can't open X apps. I'm ssh -X ing into the mac, so it should work?

I don't know the deal with Mac OS X and X is, but there's the X11Forwarding option in /etc/sshd_config

Thanks wush, changing X11Forwarding to yes made X forwarding work.
