Just out of curiosity, is it possible to simply unbind the console on
one of these servers after bootup in some startup script? Or perhaps
unbind the keyboard device, so you can see messages but not type
anything in? Maybe use cat /dev/kprint instead of rc? It seems like it
ought to be possible to disable the physical console this way. I ask
simply as a way of reducing worry about passerby, not as a security
solution.
