Description

Just creating this bug report here as advised by @jim-p, to accompany my Github PR: https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/pull/4696

This PR removes the "(SSH only)" part of the "0) Logout" option on the console menu. This is because the logout option on the menu is not exclusive to people connecting to the console over SSH, and having "(SSH only)" potentially creates confusion.

Password protection for the console menu can in fact be enabled (System/Advanced/Admin Access/Console Options/Password protect the console menu), which secures the physical console as well as remote SSH connections. I have tested and ensured that the "0) Logout" option does still work as expected on a physical console when console password protection is enabled.
