In a new Linode, regarding to Lish:
Quote: Connecting to Lish: Before logging in for the first time, you must either set a Lish password or add your ssh public key, both of which are available from the Console tab as well.

I assume that if I don't set up any password, this "entry point" remains safe ?

Thank you.

Safe as in nobody can get in -- yes. But you're going to need this if you ever lock yourself out of your Linode (e.g. by messing up the firewall) -- so set up your public key now and test it, before you find yourself in dire need of it.

Not necessarily, I can use Lish via Ajaxterm.
