-.SH "NAME"
-pam_nologin \- Prevent non\-root users from login
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.HP 15
-\fBpam_nologin.so\fR [file=\fI/path/nologin\fR] [successok]
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-pam_nologin is a PAM module that prevents users from logging into the system when
-\fI/etc/nologin\fR
-exists. The contents of the
-\fI/etc/nologin\fR
-file are displayed to the user. The pam_nologin module has no effect on the root user's ability to log in.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.TP 3n
-\fBfile=\fR\fB\fI/path/nologin\fR\fR
-Use this file instead the default
-\fI/etc/nologin\fR.
-.TP 3n
-\fBsuccessok\fR
-Return PAM_SUCCESS if no file exists, the default is PAM_IGNORE.
-.SH "MODULE SERVICES PROVIDED"
-.PP
-The
-\fBauth\fR
-and
-\fBacct\fR
-services are supported.
-.SH "RETURN VALUES"
-.TP 3n
-PAM_AUTH_ERR
-The user is not root and
-\fI/etc/nologin\fR
-exists, so the user is not permitted to log in.
-.TP 3n
-PAM_BUF_ERR
-Memory buffer error.
-.TP 3n
-PAM_IGNORE
-This is the default return value.
-.TP 3n
-PAM_SUCCESS
-Success: either the user is root or the
-\fI/etc/nologin\fR
-file does not exist.
-.TP 3n
-PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
-User not known to the underlying authentication module.
-.SH "EXAMPLES"
-.PP
-The suggested usage for
-\fI/etc/pam.d/login\fR
-is:
-.sp
-.RS 3n
-.nf
-auth required pam_nologin.so

-.SH "NOTES"
-.PP
-In order to make this module effective, all login methods should be secured by it. It should be used as a
-\fIrequired\fR
-method listed before any
-\fIsufficient\fR
-methods in order to get standard Unix nologin semantics. Note, the use of
-\fBsuccessok\fR
-module argument causes the module to return
-\fIPAM_SUCCESS\fR
-and as such would break such a configuration \- failing
-\fIsufficient\fR
-modules would lead to a successful login because the nologin module
-\fIsucceeded\fR.
