Hello,
>From the "man login"
If the user is not root, and if /etc/nologin exists, the
contents of of this file are printed to the screen, and
the login is terminated. This is typically used to pre-
vent logins when the system is being taken down.
it is wworks on old linux but not on Colgate!!! (nologin exist
and normal user can get in).
