Does your user account have a password? Do you have autologin enabled, 
such that the password is never entered at login?

The keyring generally automatically unlocks, except in those conditions.

If you are really trying to make this machine headless, I suggest x11vnc 
or another vnc server as mentioned. There is no need for this machine to 
actually run xorg from the local terminal if there is no monitor.
