Blindly trusting you guys, I'd be tempted to ACK this, however, we
would need some short description to insert as a comment to the
securetty file such as:

# /etc/securetty: list of terminals on which root is allowed to login.
# See securetty(5) and login(1).
console

# for people with serial port consoles
ttyS0

# for devfs
tts/0

# Standard consoles
tty1
tty2
.../...


So, how would you describe xvc0 and hvc0 in that file?


Do these devices make sense for non-Linux systems?
