Remote Setting and Managing of the Eon Terminal Passwords

By default, an Eon terminal's password is NOT set when the terminal comes "out of the box". Therefore we must ensure the terminal's password is set to the CSCF Thin Client Master Password before being placed into service. In the case of the NeoLinux operating system of the Eon terminals (see OsEons), this password corresponds to the root user account. This password allows a user manage a terminal's configuration either locally or remotely.
