Right. Actually my server I can just log in too. I never log in to it when running it remotely I just leave it at the log in screen when remoting so then I don't have nosy people seeing what's on there. It is a form of security for me as I am blind and don't want everyone reading my stuff on the Linux server. Plus if I am remoting there is no sense to log in.
