NAME
       pam_securetty --	SecureTTY PAM module

SYNOPSIS
       [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_securetty [options]

DESCRIPTION
       The  SecureTTY service module for PAM, pam_securetty provides function-
       ality for only one PAM category:	account	management.  In	terms  of  the
       module-type parameter, this is the "account" feature.  It also provides
       null functions for authentication and session management.

   SecureTTY Account Management	Module
       The  SecureTTY  account	management component (pam_sm_acct_mgmt()), re-
       turns failure if	the user is attempting to authenticate	as  superuser,
       and  the	 process  is attached to an insecure TTY.  In all other	cases,
       the module returns success.

       A TTY is	considered secure if it	is listed in  /etc/ttys	 and  has  the
       TTY_SECURE flag set.

       The following options may be passed to the authentication module:

       debug	syslog(3) debugging information	at LOG_DEBUG level.

       no_warn	suppress warning messages to the user.	These messages include
		reasons	why the	user's authentication attempt was declined.
