Thanks Dmitry,
good source of info for QA to try things out in mentioned directions, and
file bugs with detailed description.

Anyone's contribution into this is very welcome.

should be*
There is blueprint to address this:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/fuel/+spec/password-for-console-login.
Actually it is not that dangerous: there is possible access to the system
only via console, so you have to have physical access / remote KVM (which
is usually under password) to servers.

> *Installs should work WITHOUT DNS/internet,*
was designed to be so, and I believe it does work... QA to assure us in
this. I believe we should even have system test for it.

Thanks,
