NAME

6       securetty_types - The SELinux secure tty type configuration file
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  securetty_types file contains a list of types associated to secure
10       tty type that are defined in the policy for use by SELinux-aware appli‐
11       cations.
12
13       selinux_securetty_types_path(3)  will  return the active policy path to
14       this file. The default securetty types file is:
15              /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/securetty_types
16
17       Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the  selinux  configuration  file
18       config (see selinux_config(5)).
19
20       selinux_check_securetty_context(3)  reads  this  file to determine if a
21       context is for a secure tty defined in the active policy.
22
23       SELinux-aware applications such as newrole(1) use this  information  to
24       check the status of a tty.
25

FILE FORMAT

27       Each line in the file consists of the following entry:
28
29              type
30                     One  or  more type entries that are defined in the policy
31                     for secure tty devices.
