Ok so it seems that I can't remote in the way I would
on a typical UNIX machine. Thats fine.
Regarding Apple Remote Desktop::
It works with all the VNC clients I have -- No issue
there.
Next Question:
I can only compare it to what I might do on another
UNIX.
If :0 is attached to the physical display. I could
launch a new vncserver on :1. This display would be
independent of the display on :0.
I read a post somewhere and now can't seemed to find
it, that stated this was possible on OSX.
It involved two user accounts and "fast user
switching". I setup another user account can enabled
"fast user switching" However when I remote in, it is
still a shared session of the :0 display. I would like
to connect to a session that is different than the one
running on the physical display.

Hopefully, I've explained this sufficiently.

Thanks again!
-Chris



I dont know the answer but did you try setting DISPLAY=:1 in ~/.profile of the new user?
