I know for a fact that this is not the case for 10.6. On Friday I set my work machine to run an update and restarted it; this weekend I connected to it via file sharing on the 4th, and when I got in yesterday, my work system was still sitting at the login prompt. (Actually, I thought we'd had a power failure until I remembered setting it to update when I left) This is very odd, I don't recall it working that way, ever, actually..these are two completely different OS subsystems at work here: file sharing and window manager login. There's no way screen sharing is going on? That's the only way I could think a remote system could log you in 'on the console' so to speak. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
