Something wrong with his SSH setup, not his OSX

Read the details of the contest - »rm-my-mac.wideopenbsd.org.nyud.net:8090/

Summarized, he states that he was giving out SSH accounts to anyone who wanted them (I read somewhere that in OSX you have to explicitly turn on SSH, could someone confirm this?). The box was not hacked because of defects in Mac OSX, but rather security holes that manifested themselves after a user got in via SSH.

Yes you must turn on SSH. You don't enable it unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Just because a word has an S in it doesn't mean it needs an apostrophe too.

Where does the hacker say he used SSH to get in?
