This worked as well in Digital Unix. Anyone logged in, will remain in, just will not allow any new logins.
I've done this when rebooting, but still have stuff to startup, and don't want to be in single user mode. I'll touch the nologin file, do what I need then rm it when it's ok to login. I don't know if it will stop ftp logins however.
