Thanks for the tip.
Where would this be documented? The current securetty(5) man page is
clearly wrong when it says: "the file contains the device names of tty lines
(one per line, without leading /dev/) on which root is allowed to login."
How does one go about reporting/fixing a documentation bug?
Regards,
Greg

Actually the file you're looking for is /etc/securetty Not
/etc/securettys...
I wanted the same thing. What I found worked was to append the following,
after tty1, tty2 et. al.:
1
2
3
4
5
6
...
Which correspond to /dev/pts/1, /dev/pts/2, etc.
