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
