/usr/bin/falselogin

falselogin is a small application which can deny the user to log in the system displaying a custom message.

The configuration file for falselogin is /etc/falselogin.conf. Everything you write into this file will be written at login except for some special strings which will be substituted when they appear in the configuration file. They are:

Number of mail messages in the user's mailbox.

%user% string

Username.

%sysname% string

Sysname from uname. (eg: Linux)

%nodename%, %host% strings

The hostname. (eg: master)

--wait, -w waitfor

If waitfor is a number, falselogin will sleep waitfor seconds before exiting; if waitfor matches the word 'enter' then falselogin will wait for the user to input the 'enter' key
