PAM_SECURETTY(8)	     System Manager's Manual		PAM_SECURETTY(8)

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 functionality
     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()), returns
     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 re-
     turns 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.
