+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 /etc/securetty.
+pam_securetty also checks to make sure that /etc/securetty is a plain file and
+not world writable.
+
+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.
