Hey Albert,
securetty's has to contain the basename of your terminal. So for
pts/ type devices that's just the number. If you really want to be able
to telnet in as root (<insert rant about how this is a bad idea here>)
then put make your securetty read something like...
tty1
tty2
0
1
2
3
But if the first 4 ptys are assigned already (other telnet's or
xterms open) you won't be able to connected as root. If that's not good
enough just remove the securettys file all together to be permiscious or
remove the pam_securetty.so line from /etc/pam.d/login. That'll leave the
functionality available for other services to use if you so desire.
