This morning our IT consultant asked for my iMac's username/password today to help resolve a DNS error being thrown up by two Macs in the office, one of which is mine. As this is my personal machine I politely declined to share that information with him. I don't have anything on the machine to hide, just graphics work for my own side projects, but I'm still trying to understand how or why our office network server would even NEED to have my username/password. The best I understand it, if the server can't access my machine at that admin level it doesn't identify itself on the network and throws up errors.

Can somebody out there give me a better lesson? I hate to sound like I'm guarding the crown jewels... but I am, you know?
