can't log in on ubuntu core console via sso...

[Luther Goh Lu Feng]

I am assuming console means the login prompt like this:


==============
Ubuntu Core 16 on 192.168.0.10 (ttyO0)
localhost login:

==============

I do feel that the current secure default works the best. Those who need to set a local password will find a way to do it since it is their requirement for ease of dev, etc

Enabling console login by default, imho, is more insecure, and increases another avenue for breaching the device. Thanks.

The thing that worries me is the likelihood of bad passwords being set.
We don't necessarily know what the software is on the device, and people
are likely to reuse passwords that are important to them on other
systems. So we though SSH enablement was the cleaner safer way to tty.
Happy to take feedback and in principle OK to have a local password.
