Is sshd-keygen-wrapper necessary for my Macbook? Can I delete it from Full Disk Access permission?

Hi,

Yes, you can remove sshd-keygen-wrapper from the Full Disk Access list on your MacBook Pro, but it will enable remote access through SSH. To remove it, go to System Settings/Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Full Disk Access, click the padlock to make changes, select sshd-keygen-wrapper from the list, and click the minus button (-). This action allows the SSH process to access protected data, which is necessary for remote logins but may not be desirable if you don't use Remote Login.
