Description michael@smith-li.com 2008-01-11 18:30:59 UTC
A sentence in section 2.d. contains an extra 'in' and should probably say 'to' instead of 'from'.

"The /etc/securetty file allows you to specify which tty (terminal) devices root is allowed to login in from." should read "The /etc/securetty file allows you to specify which tty (terminal) devices root is allowed to login to."

or, if you're a pedant like myself, "The /etc/securetty file allows you to specify to which tty (terminal) devices root is allowed to login."

Reproducible: Always

Yes, I know that sentences should not end in prepositions. It happens throughout our documentation though, so one more instance will not be the death of us. I fixed the typo and left in a preposition.
