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.
