Login Status
You can use this menu choice to allow or disallow logins.
The Allow Logins menu choice lets users gain access to the
system.
The Disallow Logins menu choice stops any users from gaining
access to the system. This only works on systems which recognize
the /etc/nologin mechanism. Typically you use this option during
system maintenance or when a large job is running which requires
most of the CPU's resources.
When you select the desired menu item, Enlighten will prompt
for confirmation, if needed. For example, if you highlighted Allow
Logins and no confirmation appeared, you are already allowing
logins. Otherwise a pop-up window will appear and you can click OK
to execute the desired action.
NOTE: The only way to remove a temporary lockout from the system
is to go back to the User menu and choose Allow Logins. Or you can
reboot the system.
