.Sh NAME

.Nm nologin
|
|
.Nd disallow logins
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Programs such as
|
|
.Xr login 1
|
|
disallow logins if the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file exists.
|
|
The programs display the contents of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to the user if possible and interrupt the login sequence.
|
|
This makes it simple to temporarily prevent incoming logins systemwide.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To disable logins on a per-account basis,
|
|
investigate
|
|
.Xr nologin 8 .
|
|
.Sh SECURITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file is ignored for user root by default.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
feature is implemented through
|
|
.Xr login.conf 5 ,
|
|
which allows to change the pathname of the
|
|
file and to extend the list of users
|
|
exempt from temporary login restriction.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
PAM-aware programs can be selectively configured to respect
|
|
.Nm
|
|
using the
|
|
.Xr pam_nologin 8
|
|
module via
|
|
.Xr pam.conf 5 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
file will be removed at system boot if it resides in
|
|
.Pa /var/run
|
|
and
|
|
.Va cleanvar_enable
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dq Li YES
|
|
in
|
|
.Xr rc.conf 5 ,
|
|
which is default.
|
|
Therefore system reboot can effectively re-enable logins.
