securetty_types(5) SELinux configuration securetty_types(5)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

Hi Guys,
I'd like to know your opinion. A friend of mine claims, an open source OS like linux is more secure than a closed one like AIX because 'if he is hacked, he can do countermeasures'.
I believe the opposite is the case - it's more secure if not everybody knows the kernel and is able to... (6 Replies)
