Is there a way to bypass the /etc/nologin for specific users? Maybe some type of 'allow' file. I understand it defeats the purpose of nologin but our month end process needs a specfic user to login but not any other users.

Thanks
 
Try using PAM authentication.

For further details, do a man on pam.conf
