Hi. I was reading the readme in the 2.4.0-test2 kernel documentation tree for defs when I ran into the following mysterious passage
/etc/securetty PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) is supposed to be a flexible mechanism for providing better user authentication and access to services. Unfortunately, it's also fragile, complex and undocumented (check out RedHat 6.1, and probably other distributions as well). PAM has problems with symbolic links. Append the following lines to your /etc/securetty file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
What does this mean since /etc/security is a directory and where shhould these lines go anyway?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
