NAME
francine -- highly configureable console login program SYNOPSIS
francine DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the francine command. francine is a program with which you can make your console login more funny. You can have ANSI logos for both the login mask and the error screen. The locations of the username and password-promts can be wherever you like on the screen, and you can configure who is allowed to login when from where. The main configuration file is /etc/francine.sl in which you can set most of the options. Additionally /etc/securetty and /etc/usertty are used for the login authentification check. Please notice that you have to use a getty that runs francine for you can't directly start it. We sugguest to use rungetty (8) for that. OPTIONS

SECURETTY(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						      SECURETTY(5)

NAME
securetty - file which lists terminals from which root can log in DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/securetty contains the names of terminals (one per line, without leading /dev/) which are considered secure for the transmis- sion of certain authentication tokens. It is used by (some versions of) login(1) to restrict the terminals on which root is allowed to login. See login.defs(5) if you use the shadow suite. On PAM enabled systems, it is used for the same purpose by pam_securetty(8) to restrict the terminals on which empty passwords are accepted. FILES
