Not very familiar with xconsole, but if I understand you correctly, even in the xconsole file, it would specify physical connections, not remote?
The securetty files I'm seeing generally look like this:
console
vc/[1-11]
tty[1-11]
I would assume it'd be more secure if the vc and tty lines were removed, but again, if telnet is disabled does it matter?
Again, thanks for the help.

xconsole
xconsole(1X) xconsole(1X)
NAME
dxconsole, xconsole - monitor system console messages with X
SYNOPSIS
dxconsole | xconsole [-toolkitoption...] [-file file-name] [-notify] [-stripNonprint] [-daemon] [-verbose] [-exitOnFail] [-motif] [-stdin]
[-maxSize n] [-buttons]
OPTIONS
The dxconsole and xconsole programs accept all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along with the additional options listed
below: To monitor some other device, use this option to specify the device name. This does not work on regular files as they are always
ready to be read from. When new data are received from the console and the notify option is set, the icon name of the application has "*"
appended, so that it is evident even when the application is iconified. -notify is the default. This option causes dxconsole or xconsole
to place itself in the background, using fork/exit. When set, this option directs dxconsole or xconsole to display an informative message
in the first line of the text buffer. When set, this option directs dxconsole or xconsole to exit when it is unable to redirect the con-
sole output. When set, this option causes the Motif interface to be presented. (This option is always set in dxconsole.) This option
directs xconsole to read from stdin as well as /dev/console (default in dxconsole). This option establishes the maximum amount (in charac-
ters) to be displayed. The default is 32768. This option governs whether clear and dismiss buttons appear. Applies only to the Motif
interface and is set by default.
DESCRIPTION
The dxconsole and xconsole programs display messages which are usually sent to /dev/console.
By default, xconsole presents the Athena interface and dxconsole presents the Motif interface.
Since dxconsole is an X client, it will terminate upon receiving a fatal error from the X server. This may occur if the swap space is low
and the X Server is not able to process a request from dxconsole.
X DEFAULTS
This program uses the Athena Text widget, look in the Athena Widget Set documentation for controlling it.
WIDGETS
In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets which compose dxconsole and xconsole. In the notation
below, indentation indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.
XConsole xconsole
XConsole text
ENVIRONMENT
to get the default host and display number. to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the
RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
FILES
specifies required resources specifies required resources
