+<tag><bf>Description:</bf></tag>
+
+Provides standard Unix securetty checking, which causes authentication
+for root to fail unless <tt>PAM_TTY</tt> is set to a string listed in
+the <tt>/etc/securetty</tt> file.  For all other users, it succeeds.
+
+<tag><bf>Examples/suggested usage:</bf></tag>
+
+For canonical usage, should be listed as a <tt>required</tt>
+authentication method before any <tt>sufficient</tt> authentication
+methods.
