During boot, the initscripts create the nologin file. The contents are
printed to the screen if someone attempts to login between the time that
the getty's are started and the script which removes nologin runs to
remove it.
Once the system is running, you should be able to log in as root
(despite the nologin file) and then remove the file. This should allow
logins. Reboot asap (I understand that it is a server) and see what
happens.
Ensure that you have backups just in case.
Doug.
