Ah! Yep. For this reason I sometimes build(if that's the correct word) "null keyboard" devices for machines that I want to operate without one -- they're just the bare circuit board and cable from a trash keyboard, wrapped securely in insulating tape. A keyboard circuit will still actually work that way(the server boots, and the leds can be twiddled with the right software), but nobody will ever be able to push any keys Smilie I've found it to be much less hassle than driving 300km to fix the CMOS on a computer that forgot it's supposed to be able to boot headless.
