tags 191038 patch upstream
thanks


Tomasz, the very long story of Debian bug #191038
(http://bugs.debian.org/191038) finally was turned into "Please
document that /etc/nologin can be a symlink to a file in another
filesystem".

Attached to this mail you will find a small patch (relative to your
CVS) to properly document this. Please just tell us when you apply it
so that I can tag the bug appropiately.
