why leave the console logged on? i guess it's one of those 'it depends' kinda things.
if the console is in a secure area, i think the console should be left logged on. (don't forget, it may be the only device with a serial connection to the system!).
perhaps, otoh, if you do little tape handling (and/or all your tape drives are configured for autoreply) or forms printing, maybe it makes more sense to not have the console logged on.
i'd think a side-effect of not having the console logged on is that no one/nothing is actually watching the messages on the console. i realize having the operator logged on is no guarantee either (ask me about my operators....) but i do think the inverse is true. and if no one/nothing is watching, then how do you know what's really happening on the system? - d

An excellent question, Grasshopper.
2 reasons: 1) because you can, and 2) to start on topic discussions about
bragging rights.
