NAME

6       nologin - prevent unprivileged users from logging into the system
7

DESCRIPTION

9       If  the  file  /etc/nologin exists and is readable, login(1) will allow
10       access only to root.  Other users will be shown the  contents  of  this
11       file  and  their logins will be refused.  This provides a simple way of
12       temporarily disabling all unprivileged logins.
