The only shop I ever worked in that required logon for consoles did so not for security reasons but for accountability. Some operators had 'questionable' skills and at times dangerous commands were entered without consulting the shift supervisor or someone on the systems staff. This sometimes led to serious problems. Operators had to logon to the consoles and they were responsible for any commands that were entered while they were logged on, whether they entered them or not. They got into the habit of logging off whenever they stepped away from the console. A real PITA, but it satisfied management.
