+.PP
+When TTY auditing is enabled, it is inherited by all processes started by that user\&. In particular, daemons restarted by a user will still have TTY auditing enabled, and audit TTY input even by other users unless auditing for these users is explicitly disabled\&. Therefore, it is recommended to use
+\fBdisable=*\fR
+as the first option for most daemons using PAM\&.
+.PP
+To view the data that was logged by the kernel to audit use the command
+\fBaureport \-\-tty\fR\&.
+.PP
+The
+\fB\fIpatterns\fR\fR
+are comma separated lists of glob patterns or ranges of uids\&. A range is specified as
+\fImin_uid\fR:\fImax_uid\fR
+where one of these values can be empty\&. If
+\fImin_uid\fR
+is empty only user with the uid
+\fImax_uid\fR
+will be matched\&. If
+\fImax_uid\fR
+is empty users with the uid greater than or equal to
+\fImin_uid\fR
+will be matched\&.
+.PP
+Please note that passwords in some circumstances may be logged by TTY auditing even if the
+\fBlog_passwd\fR
+is not used\&. For example, all input to an ssh session will be logged \- even if there is a password being typed into some software running at the remote host because only the local TTY state affects the local TTY auditing\&.
