securetty_types(5)           SELinux configuration          securetty_types(5)
NAME
       securetty_types - The SELinux secure tty type configuration file
DESCRIPTION
       The  securetty_types file contains a list of types associated to secure
       tty type that are defined in the policy for use by SELinux-aware appli-
       cations.
       selinux_securetty_types_path(3)  will  return the active policy path to
       this file. The default securetty types file is:
              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/securetty_types
       Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the  selinux  configuration  file
       config (see selinux_config(5)).
       selinux_check_securetty_context(3)  reads  this  file to determine if a
       context is for a secure tty defined in the active policy.
       SELinux-aware applications such as newrole(1) use this  information  to
       check the status of a tty.
FILE FORMAT
       Each line in the file consists of the following entry:
              type
                     One  or  more type entries that are defined in the policy
                     for secure tty devices.
EXAMPLE
       # ./contexts/securetty_types
       sysadm_tty_device_t
       user_tty_device_t
       staff_tty_device_t
