33./etc/nologin doesn't work
Red Hat Linux 4.0 shipped without support for the /etc/nologin file.
Fix:
Remove all the entries for login, rsh, rlogin, and rexec from /etc/pam.conf.
You can use the following script to do so; simply cut and paste:
#!/bin/sh
gawk 'BEGIN {RS="\n\n+"}
$0 ~ / login authorization/ { next }
$0 ~ / rlogin authorization/ { next }
$0 ~ / rsh authorization/ { next }
$0 ~ / rexec authorization/ { next }
{ print ; printf "\n" }' < /etc/pam.conf > /tmp/pam.conf
cat /tmp/pam.conf > /etc/pam.conf
rm /tmp/pam.conf
Or, simply remove the equivalent entries by hand using your favorite text
editor.
