[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#931899: login: still tries to open /etc/securetty

[Sven Joachim]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.7-1

According to the Debian changelog, login has stopped honoring
/etc/securetty, but journalctl shows that it complains about the now
missing file:

,----
| Jul 12 08:47:31 turtle login[1039]: pam_unix(login:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: No such file or directory
| Jul 12 08:47:34 turtle login[1039]: pam_unix(login:auth): Couldn't open /etc/securetty: No such file or directory
| Jul 12 08:47:34 turtle login[1039]: pam_unix(login:session): session opened for user sven by LOGIN(uid=0)
| Jul 12 08:47:34 turtle systemd-logind[419]: New session 1 of user sven.
`----

So why does login still try to open /etc/securetty?
