That would be headless too.

If the console doesn't work, something's wrong, and that could affect other things.

The console *is* working, it's the LoginWindow that's not. If it wasn't working you wouldn't have a blue screen. The problem you're having is that the console won't bring up a login screen. If you can't see these as different, then you're already hindered in your ability to troubleshoot this problem.


I'm waiting until tonight when there's little trafffic and will try a reboot per previous suggestions.

I suspect your problem might be related to either authentication or the security manager.


Have you repaired permissions on the boot volume lately?


FWIW, we've had a client with a server in this state operating just fine for about six months. They don't want to investigate any further b/c everything "appears" to be working fine to them and the don't want to bring the server down again, but we know that certain authentications aren't working properly.
