  • Who's connected to my computer?

    So I have an iMac that is my primary computer. I also have an iBook,
    which I regularly connect to the iMac with, so I have my iMac set to be
    able to share. I went to shut down the iMac and it said there were 4
    users connected to my computer!! I knew one of them was my iBook. I
    remember in the days of OS 9 there was a way to see what computers were connected to yours. I can not for the the life of me figure out how to
    do that with OS X. I like to use the iMac as a sort of server, I have
    all of my music on it, so I'd like to be able to allow it to share, but
    how do I monitor/regulate who's connecting.

    netstat -na | grep 548

    Have you got some kind of wireless connection that is not password
    protected? I'd strongly recommend fixing that immediately if that is
    the case.

    And the little app xAFP puts a display in your menubar: <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/22223>
