SubjectRe: devfs + xinit Authentication error
On Wed, 1 Mar 2000, Douglas Gilbert wrote:


The solution (at least on RH6.0 and RH6.1) for the X problem was
to change the following line in /etc/security/console.perms from:

<console>=tty[0-9][0-9]* :[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9]

to:
<console>=tty[0-9][0-9]* [0-9][0-9]* :[0-9]\.[0-9] :[0-9]


There is a related problem which stops root logging in on
a virtual console. The solution was to add the last 8
lines to /etc/securetty yielding:
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
tty8
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8


ick... this could cause /dev/pty/[1-8] to be deemed secure for root
login. What's really needed is to fix the PAM securetty module. At
the moment it won't parse full paths like /dev/vc/6 - which imo means
pam securetty is broken.
