 * As long as tools like sshd only *check* for /etc/nologin, a symlink to
 * /var/run/nologin would work just fine. Those parts of the system that
 * need to *remove* the nologin file would need to be aware of the symlink,
 * of course.

If they use the right defines like ssh does (auth_checknologin(), 
_PATH_NOLOGIN, etc.), there shouldn't be any problems either way.
