Yes.
(Insert the appropriate warnings regarding security risks running
thise services on any platform entails, of co
ftp, ssh, http (webserver), slimserver all run as 'services' that don't
require a user to log in.
After you turn the services on, go to Accounts --> Login options, make
sure to DEselect "Automatically log in as ..." and that should get you
where you're going.

So I was wrong in saying it couldn't be done.
In the SlimServer preference pane there are three option for automatic
start, namely "never", "when I log in", and "when system boots" which
is the option you want.
As for doing it with other programs, they mostly will not have this
particular option
Yes, that is what I'm asking. From what you're saying, SlimServer runs
when a Mac is booted -- you don't actually have to log-in as a user. Is
that the case?

I am investigating the use of a Mac Mini as my SlimServer (and Asterisk,
and CalDav, and...). One question I have is can I run SlimServer (or any
other program) as the Windows equivalent of a "service". i.e. Can
SlimServer run without have a user logged in?
cheers,
J.
