- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
-
- <para>
- pam_securetty is a PAM module that allows root logins only if the
- user is logging in on a "secure" tty, as defined by the listing
- in <filename>/etc/securetty</filename>. pam_securetty also checks
- to make sure that <filename>/etc/securetty</filename> is a plain
- file and not world writable.
- </para>
- <para>
- This module has no effect on non-root users and requires that the
- application fills in the <emphasis remap='B'>PAM_TTY</emphasis>
- item correctly.
- </para>
- <para>
- For canonical usage, should be listed as a
- <emphasis remap='B'>required</emphasis> authentication method
- before any <emphasis remap='B'>sufficient</emphasis>
- authentication methods.
