When opening Terminal: “NO LOGINS: System going down at 01:10”












1















I'm trying to get a terminal open, and I get this message:



NO LOGINS: System going down at 01:10

Login incorrect
login: *myname*
Login incorrect
login:


It doesn't prompt for my password. This happens with iTerm2 and Terminal.



I'm using zsh, and when I change my default command to bash it runs fine. Is it possible to get a zsh session open?

  • Are you sure this is connected with your login shell? (How can you chage it when you can't login?) I would expect that if the systeme is scheduled for going down shortly that all logins except root are disabled.

  • @mpy in the iTerm (and I think terminal) prefs you can set the command that runs when a terminal is opened.

  • Try moving your ~/.zshrc file and seeing what happens.

I don't know why, but I resolved it by deleting the file nologin inside the /etc/ folder.



Perhaps here is some explanation, from the book A Practical Guide to UNIX for Mac OS X Users, by Mark G. Sobell and Peter Seebach:




The pam_nologin module makes sure that if the /etc/nologin file exists, only the root user is allowed to log in. (That is, the pam_nologin module reports success only if /etc/nologin does not exist or if the root user is logging in.) Thus, when a shutdown has been scheduled in the near future, the system administrator can keep users from logging in on the system only to experience a shutdown moments later.
