The Local Terminal accessory allows the user to execute commands or make changes to the system. By default, the local terminal is disabled; that is, no local terminal session is configured. To enhance security, you should do one of the following:
-
Leave the local terminal disabled.
-
If a local terminal session is configured but not needed, disable it.
-
If a local terminal session is needed, password-protect it.
