[plug] nologin files was : debian - bootup problem

[craig at postnewspapers.com.au]

You will probably need to append "single" to the boot prompt, to cause
the system to come up in maintainance mode. You can then rm /etc/nologin
and exit to boot normally. However you should check to see that
/etc/rc?.d/S??rmnologin exist, because if you've accidentally deleted
them the problem will recurr again and again. If they aren't there, do

cd /etc/rc5.d/
ln -s /etc/init.d/rmnologin S99rmnologin
(repeat for rc2.d, rc3.d, rc4.d, but be _sure_ that the target files don't
exist first)

If you've been mucking about with runlevels and things you can manage to
mess this up.
