     nologin – politely refuse a login

     have been disabled.

     When executed, nologin first writes about the login attempt to syslog(3)
     and then displays a message that an account is not available.

     To disable all logins, investigate nologin(5).

EXIT STATUS
     The nologin utility always exits non-zero.
