Leopard (10.5) had a preference, if I remember right, where I could select either the full name or the shortname to appear in the login box.

Whatever you do, do *NOT attempt to change your Home folder short name!!* That will screw up your account settings but good.
…that didn't work. It changed the appearance in the login list, but still shows my full name in authentication boxes. Unless I need to restart to make it effective?

I am also connected to a server, which Snow Leopard recognized while I was installing. Perhaps it's matching the server settings?
