Sorry to reopen this at such a late date, but I'm way behind on -devel. "Hi, I'm Karl and I maintain login and passwd."
Thomas Hood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > * pam, shadow > Allow either /etc/nologin or /run/nologin to prevent non-root logins I don't like the idea of having multiple files to turn off logins. (I can't log into my system, and /etc/nologin doesn't exist! What? didn't you know about this *other* file?) I also don't want to solve this with a symlink. I would favor (even though it's weird from the pan-unix admin point of view) just deprecating /etc/nologin in favor of something more "sensible". It would also be nice to have some blessing of /run in the policy first, but that doesn't seem terribly likely. These are not strongly held positions. Please do try to convince me to be less of an obstruction kcr
