My friend who knew my laptop's password has run some script using ssh remote login. Even though I have removed the authorized_keys file. I am still getting this irritating voice notification. He is running a cron job. Please Help!

Ok, based on what information I have:

Your friend set up a cronjob. Ok, Let's see what cronjobs there are. run crontab -l from terminal

  • If there is only one entry in crontab, run crontab -r, problem solved.
  • If there are multiple entries, you want to run crontab -e and remove the offending line.
  • If there are no lines, run those commands again with sudo
  • After removing the cronjob, smack said friend with any object nearby (just don't kill him)
  • Change MacBooks Password, and NEVER give ANYONE SSH access again

    You forgot a step. Smack said friend with a big foam bat for being a idiot and change the laptop's password.
