Personally, I think that the nologin(5) manual page should go away. Instead, the manual pages for those programs which honour its presence should be latered to reflect this (probably by a siple addition to their FILES sections). Ciao, Sheldon. State Changed From-To: open->closed Updated the descriptive text in the man page, which should help avoid confusion. |
src/sbin/nologin/nologin.5 is misplaced. nologin(5) has no relation to /sbin/nologin. At the first time I read nologin(5) after nologin(8), I misunderstood that /var/run/nologin can change the message of /sbin/nologin. Fix: Please suppress cross references of nologin(5) and nologin(8). Suggestions: move src/sbin/nologin/nologin.5 to src/lib/libutil/ or src/usr.bin/login/ add reference to nologin(5) in src/lib/libutil/login.conf.5 Change nologin(5) DESCRIPTION like, The nologin file disallows logins. If the file /var/run/nologin exists, login programs display the contents of /var/run/nologin to the user and exit.
