I just set OS X Leopard (10.5.2) up on my MBP again. I also use it on another MBP, a Mac Pro, and a Mac Mini but have an odd problem. I set up Back to my Mac but didn't see up file sharing, only screen sharing. Whenever I connect to the MBP from another computer on the network it says "Connected as: VNC" I don't remember that from before and whenever I connect to another other computers on my network I don't get this message. What does this mean? Is this something I should be concerned about?

It sounds like Back to my Mac creates a user called VNC, which would make sense since VNC is the protocol used for screen sharing.
