The server doesn't need anyone logged in at all. It won't hurt it
other than consuming some resources to run a user session on the
console but you might want to fix ctl-alt-delete to not
reboot the machine if the keyboard is out where anyone
can do it. Also, it is easy enough to bring the machine up in
single user mode if you can reboot it.
