I'm hoping this is a relatively straightforward question for someone out there.

My mother has a user called "sshd priv...eperation" appearing at the login screen on her computer. Obviously this an account related to the secure shell daemon but I have no idea no why it's appearing at login. It's causing a certain amount of distress on her end... another user on her computer and all that.

If anyone can explain why this is there or can explain how to clear this up that would help ease someone's mind.

Thanks in advance!
 
Yes, this is the ssh-daemon. It's used to allow remote logon. You *should* be able to turn it off in System Preferences --> Sharing --> Un-check "Remote logon".
