there's a lot of boards with a lot of different serial devices. i'm not sure every possibility should be hardcoded ? every distro is duplicating this work too and maintaining their own random full list. can't we do better here ? perhaps the default should be to not have an /etc/securetty at all ? if the system is configured to launch getty on a tty, then in today's world, it means it's a local device right ? if you have physical access to something, and know the root password, what exactly is this protecting the system from ? no one uses telnet anymore. if you are, then you deserve to have your system owned :). are there any other services that go through `login` ? -mike
