Thanks a lot for the point, Alexander. User andre is in the staff class, so this explains why andre has always access. I still don't understand the /etc/nologin-strangeness... why is root access denied, wenn PermitRootLogin is yes and /etc/nologin exists? why are the /etc/nologin contents not printed (neither to root nor to test) when PermitRootLogin is no?
