    If you were using an OSX box as a server, you would probably disable the GUI and run the system with a text console.

    You do that by editing /etc/ttys and uncommenting the first of these two lines, while commenting out the second:
    #console "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure

    console "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Cont ents/MacOS/loginwindow" vt100 on secure window=/System/Library/CoreServices/WindowServer onoption="/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"
    (random spacing in the second long line inserted by slashdot's anti-page-widening code)

    or you could just type ">console" at the login screen and save yourself from futzing with loginwindow.app.
