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
