Security Recommendations

• Console is privileged access — treat it like physical machine access
• Session persistence — console doesn’t end session when window closes
• Passwords — type carefully, characters are not visible
• Logout — always logout with exit or logout
• Sharing — never share console access with untrusted parties

Console vs SSH

Tip: Use SSH for daily management. Reserve console for rescue and installations.
