/etc/nologin not getting removed on reboot

running mysql and apache from testing seems to be the problem...

[tolachi]

My server is debian stable except I run mysql, php, and apache from testing. To do otherwise is to live in the dark ages. I've been having a problem with /etc/nologin not being removed when I reboot the box. This can be problematic, especially if you have disable root login set. Chmodding the apache and mysql scripts in /etc/init.d to 666 seems to solve the problem... Any ideas on why these scripts are keeping /etc/init.d/rmnologin from running?

TIA

This may be of use to some other people who do or want to run debian stable but have problems with the antiquity of the software. The solution is not to run testing (bad idea), but fortunately you can downgrade if you are using this nifty guide:

Then pull the recent software you need from:

[backports.org...] or

[dotdeb.org...]

Hope that saves some other people a little time and pain.
