This manual page documents briefly the **rconsole-user** command.

**rconsole-user** attaches to the **remote-tty** console that has the same name as the current user. It takes no options and invokes **rconsole**. It's intended to be used as the shell for users who should only have remote console access and not shell access to the machine providing the remote console service.
