I have to disagree. I have a couple of servers that only
boot to a level 3
login screen, but I can use vnc to these servers with no
problems. The local
terminal rarely gets logged into unless I am using the CDrom
drive to load or
fix something. The vnc service does log in to a user
account, but you can fix
it to work off xinetd, and block it from being accessed from
outside.
