>Description:
src/sbin/nologin/nologin.5 is misplaced.
nologin(5) has no relation to /sbin/nologin.

At the first time I read nologin(5) after nologin(8), I misunderstood that
/var/run/nologin can change the message of /sbin/nologin.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Please suppress cross references of nologin(5) and nologin(8).

Suggestions:
  move src/sbin/nologin/nologin.5 to src/lib/libutil/ or src/usr.bin/login/
  add reference to nologin(5) in src/lib/libutil/login.conf.5

  Change nologin(5) DESCRIPTION like,
     The nologin file disallows logins. If the file /var/run/nologin exists,
     login programs display the contents of /var/run/nologin to the user 
     and exit.

 Personally, I think that the nologin(5) manual page should go away.
 Instead, the manual pages for those programs which honour its presence
 should be latered to reflect this (probably by a siple addition to their
 FILES sections).
 
 Ciao,
 Sheldon.
