What do you mean by 'system login'.

If you start 'xdm' at boot time you can then login as a user through an 
X login window. (Often started via /etc/ttys)

You can even login as 'root' the privileged user this way but it is highly 
discouraged -- it is considered insecure and also you can end up with a lot
of junk in your root disk partition.
