1- A dirty way is:
a) view and log the actual the permisions of /usr
ls -l /usr
b) change the values
chmod 0750 /usr
c) make the change.
d) restore the original settings
2- another way is to disallow the login user by user
chuser login=false rlogin=false <login_name>
3- If you use the console for the maintenance
3.1.a- stop the inetd
stopsrc -s inetd
3.1.b make the change
3.1.c startsrc -s inetd
3.2.a ifconfig en0 down
3.2.b make the change
3.2.c ifconfig en0 up
