Feb 21 09:06:48 localhost login: pam_securetty(login:auth): access
denied: tty 'tty1' is not secure !
Feb 21 09:06:51 localhost login: FAILED LOGIN 2 FROM (null) FOR root,
Authentication failure
Feb 21 09:06:57 localhost login: FAILED LOGIN 3 FROM (null) FOR sofia,

all tty1's were added to securetty file:
vc/1
vc/2
vc/3
vc/4
vc/5
vc/6
vc/7
vc/8
vc/9
vc/10
vc/11
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
tty8
tty9
tty10
tty11
still symptom persists.
