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 applications.

       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
