Ok, so my imac has screen sharing and file sharing enabled, the screen sharing is limited to my account ONLY. I have a .mac account, and its entered into the accounts preferences and .mac preferences

now, on my other mac (macbook), i have screen sharing on for every user to enter their password, and i have my .mac account set in accounts preferences and .mac preferences

now, i would like to access my imac from the macbook, but the screen sharing is only enable so that my account on the imac can access it. Do i have to set it to "all users"? or is entering the .mac username in accounts preferences the reason why?

My real question is, i simple as possible, can i use the macbook to access my imac via back to my mac even though my imacs screen sharing preferences is set so that one user can access, and that is mine?

I know i need to enable back to my mac on both macs.
