      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 <code class="filename">/etc/securetty</code>. pam_securetty also checks
      to make sure that <code class="filename">/etc/securetty</code> is a plain
      file and not world writable. It will also allow root logins on
      the tty specified with <code class="option">console=</code> switch on the
      kernel command line and on ttys from the
      <code class="filename">/sys/class/tty/console/active</code>.
    </p><p>
      This module has no effect on non-root users and requires that the
      application fills in the <span class="emphasis"><em>PAM_TTY</em></span>
      item correctly.
    </p><p>
      For canonical usage, should be listed as a
      <span class="emphasis"><em>required</em></span> authentication method
      before any <span class="emphasis"><em>sufficient</em></span>
      authentication methods.

            An application error occurred. pam_securetty was not able

            An error occurred while the module was determining the
            user's name or tty, or the module could not open
            <code class="filename">/etc/securetty</code>.

            The module could not find the user name in the

            the user had a UID of 0. Therefore, the results of running
            this module are ignored.
