[GRLUG] multiple login on Mac

[Roger Roelofs]

Eric,

Mac graphical remote control is based on VNC.  You can use your
account as a login credential to the VNC server.  Doing that doesn't
create a separate graphical session.  You can log out of one graphical
'session' and log in as another user, but there is only one 'display
context' so you can't have two users using the 'display' at the same
time.
