The file /etc/securetty contains a list of valid terminals that may be logged in directly as root. Rationale: Since the system console has special properties to handle emergency situations, it is important to ensure that the console is in a physically secure location and that unauthorized consoles have not been defined.


Parameter:

[yes/no]


Technical Mechanism:

Remove entries for any consoles that are not in a physically secure location.
