I have 2 Macs. 1 new iMac and 1 new Macbook both running the same current version of Leopard.

How can I remote control my iMac, when no one else is logged into it, from my Macbook or vice-versa? Possible? Is there a tutorial of steps needed? Additional software?

Thanks,

M
 
Provided you have Leopard on both, go to System Pref>Sharing>Screen Sharing and turn it on. Now the shared machines will show up in the sidebar of every other mac on the network. Log in with the same credentials as the username of the mac you're controlling.
