This isn't quite what was asked for but I know you could setup a system without a monitor or keyboard and use the serial port to login to the console. I remember reading a HOWTO or something on the steps to set this up but I can't remember where it was. Does anyone else know where I could get that info again? Also, I just got in from San Francisco this morning at 4am because of flight disruptions due to the bad weather Phoenix got. I had to be to work this morning by eight o'clock so I only slept about an hour and a half.. I need someone to cover for me. Nothing is more dangerous than a tired Sys Admin with root access.. ;-) I'm also going through a learning curve with HP-UX right now. If anyone has some good resources (books, URL's, etc.) lemme know..
