If understand correctly the problem is with your /etc/securetty file. Search this forum for "etc/securetty".

You probably have a syntax error in securetty or bad permission mode. Can you login as another user and then "su - root"? If not you may have to crash the server and boot in singleuser mode in order to fix it.
