maybe it is possible to configure one of your virtual consoles as a login 
screen on the remote machine.  This way you can login to the remote machine 
without local login.  

I am not sure if it is technically possible.  But I Think this is the way I 
would do it.  Only problem you have then is that you can only login on a 
predefined remote machine and not on a random machine.

But as I said.  Don know if this is possible because I never tried, and 
probably never wiil.
