I had my bosses computer setup for remote access so I could do some work on it without having to keep using two sets of keyboards/mice. I was getting ready to work, but had not yet connected. I noticed the screen-saver go off so I looked over at it and noticed the pop-up saying that someone was remotely controling my computer. I shutdown the computer, disconnected the network, restarted and put in a password for the remote-access.

My question is, is there a log that can tell me who connected?

You could've made it sound better lol.

@adlin. How long is your password, and is there a good variety of characters/numbers?
Go to http://www.passwordmeter.com/ and tell us what the score is.

System -> Administration -> Log file viewer

auth.log is the authentication log, but you might wanna check out others like syslog too see if the attacker actually did anything.
