There is a way around having to configure the machine on localhost:
1. Log in into your QTSS server machine (telnet, ssh, whatever) as root
2. Edit qtgroups and change the admin username from "aGFja21l" to one of
your choice.
3. Use the "qtpasswd" utility to add the username from step 2 to your
qtusers file.
4. Delete the index.html file from your AdminHtml directory (in
/Library/QuickTimeStreaming/, /var/streaming/, or c:\Program
Files\Darwin Streaming Server\)
Now you can connect to your server from another machine on port 1220,
and use the username and password you supplied qtpasswd.
Since manually deleting the index.html file "tricks" QTSS Admin into
thinking it's already run the Setup Assistant, you can re-run the Setup
Assistant by going to:
although most of the settings in the Setup Assistant are available in
General Settings anyway.
Hope this info helps.

Mythili,
Do I understand correctly that this is the *only* way to set it up
initially? I run it on a headless Linux server, which makes this a bit
difficult.
Might there be another way where I won't have to pull that box out of
the closet and set up X and a monitor just to bootstrap the DSS config?

Once you install PP#2, you need to login from a browser on the local
machine. Try http://127.0.0.1:1220/ or http://localhost:1220/ from the
*same* machine that you installed the server on. Once you successfully
run the setup assistant and set your admin username and password, then
you can login remotely.
Hope this clears up any confusion. And, sorry for making this process
so confusing. Allowing only local loopback address connections before
the setup assistant is successfully run is a security feature, since
we don't want anyone to connect to your machine before you set it up.
