I think that looks like the terminal which you're using to login which
probably is /dev/ttyS0 isn't configured in /etc/securetty. Well,
securetty is a stupid concept, so you can just delete the whole file
or remove references to pam_securetty.so in /etc/pam.d/*.
Pam is controlled by /etc/pam.d/* plus a number modulespecific files.
Details are documented in /usr/doc/pam*/.
