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.

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.
