Hello,

The interim solution for users experiencing this bug is to add new lines
to /etc/securetty.

I have no plan to release a much longer /etc/securetty, so I prefer to tag
the bug as wontfix.

I do not want to discourage anyone to provide a patch, but this should
support a much longer term solution.
After thinking about it for quite some time, I think this could be solved
by supporting wildcards/regex in /etc/securetty.
The same support would need to be added in PAM.

Best Regards,
