missing login items

[Theoyster]

I have a mac mini running os x 10.4

When I check the login items for my standard account under system preferences>accounts there is nothing listed there, just a blank list. Does anyone know why this would be?

Maybe there never weren't any or you or someone else removed them?

Have there been some before?

 

[Theoyster]

I don't recall seeing any but there has to be some things running on startup.

I do have all services turned off. Maybe that is why?

/Library/StartupItems/

/Library/StartupItems/ folder is completely empty

Then what is starting up?

Well I have little snitch that starts automatically, that should have a startup entry I would think.

It seems odd to me that there are no startup items either in the list or in the library folder. This is my first mac so I'm trying to figure out if this is normal. My admin account doesn't even show the startup items screeen in the accounts pane.

Because they're likely starting up from /Library/LaunchAgents & /Library/LaunchDaemons

And yes, this is normal.
