If not and it was built with vendordir support, it will use -/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 -\fBconsole=\fR -switch on the kernel command line and on ttys from the -/sys/class/tty/console/active\&. -.PP -This module has no effect on non\-root users and requires that the application fills in the -\fBPAM_TTY\fR -item correctly\&. -.PP -For canonical usage, should be listed as a -\fBrequired\fR -authentication method before any -\fBsufficient\fR -authentication methods\&. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.PP -debug -.RS 4 -Print debug information\&. -.RE -.PP -noconsole -.RS 4 -Do not automatically allow root logins on the kernel console device, as specified on the kernel command line or by the sys file, if it is not also specified in the -securetty -file\&. -.RE -.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED" -.PP -Only the -\fBauth\fR -module type is provided\&. -.SH "RETURN VALUES" -.PP -PAM_SUCCESS -.RS 4 -The user is allowed to continue authentication\&.
