this is a resend. sorrie if it apears twice.
 
line 454 and 455 in login.c read:

        if (!rootlogin || login_getcapbool(lc, "ignorenologin", 0))
                checknologin(login_getcapstr(lc, "nologin", NULL, NULL));

surely this should read

        if (!rootlogin && !login_getcapbool(lc, "ignorenologin", 0))
                checknologin(login_getcapstr(lc, "nologin", NULL, NULL));

to make the "ignorenologin" cap ignore the /etc/nologin or "nologin" cap
file? 

man 5 login.conf:

     ignorenologin       bool         false      Not affected by nologin
                                                 files.
