I wonder if the problem is with your libselinux version.  The patch 
which included support for that file was included in version 1.33.4 so 
you'll need that or later in order to use the 
/etc/selinux/mls/contexts/securetty_types file.

All you have to do is create
an /etc/selinux/$SELINUXTYPE/contexts/securetty_types file with your
favorite editor and put the type of your tty into it, as others have
told you previously.
