[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#660862: initscripts: symlink /etc/nologin points to non existent file:

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

retitle 660862 initscripts: symlink /etc/nologin points to non existent file:
thanks


Same here. 

Such symlink was created by an upgrade of the package initscripts on a system running Debian/Squeeze.


Here is the relevant part:


$ grep -C3 /etc/nologin sysvinit-2.88dsf/debian/initscripts.postinst
# Set up nologin symlink so that dynamic-login-disabling will work
# (when DELAYLOGIN is set to "yes")
#
if [ ! -L /etc/nologin ] && [ ! -e /etc/nologin ]
then
	rm -f /var/lib/initscripts/nologin
	ln -s /var/lib/initscripts/nologin /etc/nologin
fi




I don't know why the postinst script does that.  Can somebody explain?


Thanks!
