-.SH "NAME"
-pam_securetty \- Limit root login to special devices
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.HP 17
-\fBpam_securetty.so\fR [debug]
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-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
-\fI/etc/securetty\fR. pam_securetty also checks to make sure that
-\fI/etc/securetty\fR
-is a plain file and not world writable.
-.PP
-This module has no effect on non\-root users and requires that the application fills in the
-\fBPAM_TTY\fR
-item correctly.
-.PP
-For canonical usage, should be listed as a
-\fBrequired\fR
-authentication method before any
-\fBsufficient\fR
-authentication methods.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.TP 3n
-\fBdebug\fR
-Print debug information.
-.SH "MODULE SERVICES PROVIDED"
-.PP
-Only the
-\fBauth\fR
-service is supported.
-.SH "RETURN VALUES"
-.TP 3n
-PAM_SUCCESS
-The user is allowed to continue authentication. Either the user is not root, or the root user is trying to log in on an acceptable device.
-.TP 3n
-PAM_AUTH_ERR
-Authentication is rejected. Either root is attempting to log in via an unacceptable device, or the
-\fI/etc/securetty\fR
-file is world writable or not a normal file.
-.TP 3n
-PAM_INCOMPLETE
-An application error occurred. pam_securetty was not able to get information it required from the application that called it.
-.TP 3n
-PAM_SERVICE_ERR
-An error occurred while the module was determining the user's name or tty, or the module could not open
-\fI/etc/securetty\fR.
-.TP 3n
-PAM_IGNORE
-The module could not find the user name in the
-\fI/etc/passwd\fR
-file to verify whether the user had a UID of 0. Therefore, the results of running this module are ignored.
