+pam_securetty — Limit root login to special devices
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+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 the securetty file.
+pam_securetty checks at first, if /etc/securetty exists. If not and it was
+built with vendordir support, it will use <vendordir>/securetty. pam_securetty
+also checks that the securetty files are plain files and not world writable. It
+will also allow root logins on the tty specified with console= switch on the
+kernel command line and on ttys from the /sys/class/tty/console/active.
+
+This module has no effect on non-root users and requires that the application
+fills in the PAM_TTY item correctly.
+
+For canonical usage, should be listed as a required authentication method
+before any sufficient authentication methods.
+
+OPTIONS
