It's very easy to find out:
hades:~$ file /sbin/nologin
/sbin/nologin: Bourne shell script text executable
hades:~$ grep -v '^#' /sbin/nologin
echo 'This account is currently not available.'
exit 1
But even if it wasn't a shell script, you can read the source at
/usr/src/sbin/nologin. The wonders of Open Source :)))
