Hey, I responded twice. I guess you chose to ignore my first response, or
you would have reposted earlier.

NO! You don't. You still don't get it. You can log into your "server box"
from practically any computer connected to the lan, even if in Baghdad
assuming an internet connection, with the same user/pass. You don't need
to create a separate user/pass for every computer that wants to connect.
