Question:

Sometimes RedHat fails to remove /etc/nologin after a shutdown.  This will
print a message when a user attempts to login locally, and print 'Login
incorrect' when connecting remotely.  The presence of /etc/nologin will 
prevent anyone but root logging in.

Answer:

Login at the console as root and remove /etc/nologin.  Users will now be 
able to login.
