 First, your solution is by no means secure. Think what would happen
 if a user linked its ~/.nologin to /etc/master.passwd.
 
 Second, have you ever heard of term "creeping featurism"?
 See http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/creeping-featurism.html
 Sorry, but a standard operating system distribution doesn't need to meet
 your every whim. There are administration tasks that are specific to your
 site,
 that you have to do by yourself.
 
 Please also take a look at login.access(5).
