Hello,
I have two computers, my main Mac Pro, #1, and my Macbook Pro, #2. I have File Sharing and Screen sharing setup. This is for me connecting from computer #2 to computer #1.

When I first click on my Mac Pro (#1), in Finder using computer #2, I click on Screen Sharing and enter my credentials. I then can then use Screen Sharing. Great. However, after I disconnect, I click Screen Sharing again, it just logs me in. How can I set Screen Sharing to have to enter a username and password everytime? I added a new user account and that is how the old one is setup.

The wierd part comes in this. After I login and can use Screen Sharing and then disconnect completely, I can click on "Connect As". (It's connected as a Guest at the time) Instead of typing it in, I click Cancel. It logs me in as the user! I don't know how if I'm disconnected from my computer, how clicking cancel can log me in as Admin. I then can see ALL files on my computer. How can I further set this up for security? Thanks for your help!
