/etc/nologin is not a symbolic link. "What happens on login, when the file /etc/nologin contains this line of text login currently is not possible only? The message login currently is not possible will be shown, and a login is prevented." https://learning.lpi.org/en/learning-materials/102-500/110/110.2/110.2_01/#:~:text=logins%20are%20prevented.-,What%20happens%20on%20login%2C%20when%20the%20file%20/etc/nologin%20contains,not%20possible%20will%20be%20shown%2C%20and%20a%20login%20is%20prevented.,-May%20an%20ordinary

The file that prevents login is /ect/nologin, /sbin/nologin is the command LPI-Learning-Material 102-500 Page 518: To prevent all users except the root user from logging into the system temporarily, the superuser may create the file named /ect/nologin...Note there is allso a nologin commad "sudo usermod -s /sbin/nologin user"

ChatGTP: "When a user's login shell is set to /sbin/nologin, they are effectively denied interactive access to the system. However, unlike the /etc/nologin file, this restriction is applied on a per-user basis rather than system-wide."

To prevent all users except the root user from logging into the system temporarily, the superuser may create a file named /etc/nologin. This file may contain a message to the users notifying them as to why they can not login (for example, system maintenance notifications). so the answer is /etc/nologin

Agreed that it is /etc/nologin, as the sbin one is always there. To confirm create a nologin file in /etc and lock and try to log back in.

When /sbin/nologin is set as the shell, if user with that shell logs in, they'll get a polite message saying 'This account is currently not available.' This message can be changed with the file /etc/nologin.txt.

The question is a bit too general... /etc/nologin. creating this we could write the reason as a message /sbin/nologin. is always there, but not active until you change the shell of a user and then /run/nologin for SSH connections. does exactly that what the question asks
