Bug#248133: Debian bug #248133: sshd: access denied: tty 'ssh' is not secure

[Darren Tucker <dtucker@zip.com.au>]

Hi.
	Your pam_securetty problem might be due to other pam configs being 
loaded by pam_stack, check /etc/pam.d/sshd.  You could also add "ssh" to 
/etc/securetty.

	In SSH, authentication happens well before a pty is allocated, so in 
theory PAM_TTY should not be set at all.  Unfortunately, some dumb PAM 
modules will break (ie segfault) if it's unset so sshd sets PAM_TTY to 
"ssh".

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
