Not very familiar with xconsole, but if I understand you correctly, even in the xconsole file, it would specify physical connections, not remote?

The securetty files I'm seeing generally look like this:
console
vc/[1-11]
tty[1-11]

I would assume it'd be more secure if the vc and tty lines were removed, but again, if telnet is disabled does it matter?

Again, thanks for the help.
