Re: 10.4 Server
Apple Remote Desktop, VNC, or similar. And/or Apple's Server Admin Tools. Then unplug the monitor.
What services are you using the server for?

Re: 10.4 Server
Have not quite figure out what I am going to use it for. Still trying to learn it. In the Server Admin Tools, what I am looking to do? Enable L2TP over IPsec or enable PPTP?

Umm... neither - you just use the server admin tools to remotely administrate the server, so you can run it headless.
What you enable will depend on what you want to use the server for.
You might find SSH useful though, as far as remote admin goes, so enable that.
If you're just trying to learn server administration, set yourself some goals, like "Today I am going to set up an Open Directory Server!" or "Today I will make a web server with FTP access and an internet forum."
Replace "Today" with "This week[end]/month/year" as necessary, of course.

Re: 10.4 Server
I'm in the same boat as Snoopy, learning-as-I-go on a 10.4 server. Except all my connections are wired.
What I'm trying to do right now is force all files on the server to have a certain set of permissions, regardless of their source.
Is there a simple way to do that?>
Much obliged
