Bug 1090638: remove pam_securetty.so from .pamd files
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1090638
------- Additional Comments from Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)redhat.com>
This needs to go in the release notes. Something like:
Because of the dynamic nature of TTY device files on modern Linux systems, the
"securetty" PAM module has been disabled by default and /etc/securetty no
longer included. Since the previous file listed many possible devices so that
the practical effect in most cases was to allow by default, this change will
not impact most people. However, if you were using a more restrictive
configuration, you will need to add pam_securetty.so to the appropriate files
in /etc/pam.d, and create a new /etc/securetty file.
