/etc/nologin, if exists, will only allow login access to
root. Other users get displayed the text in the
/etc/nologin file. That file could contain anything, like
from 'go away' to some longer explanatory message.

But that probably is overkill, since you might want some
users to login, and deny others. That, I believe, could
simply be done via the regular login/passwd framework - just
set the shell of the user(s) you don't want to login to something
like /bin/false.
