<tag><bf>Description:</bf></tag>

for root to fail unless <tt>PAM_TTY</tt> is set to a string listed in
the <tt>/etc/securetty</tt> file. For all other users, it succeeds.
<tag><bf>Examples/suggested usage:</bf></tag>
For canonical usage, should be listed as a <tt>required</tt>
authentication method before any <tt>sufficient</tt> authentication
methods.
