How do you log in at the console, then?  Eventually, you have to log in 
at a console *somewhere* (unless you have a com port jacked in to the 
back of your head, Matrix-style...).

And, er, before anyone suggests biometrics (fingerprints, at least), you 
should see the Mythbusters episode where they easily hack a supposedly 
expensive, uncrackable biometric security system.
