If you completely disable the login utility, you would not be able to logon locally, which could make an upgrade difficult. If you simply want to disable logon for specific users, simply set their shell to /etc/nologin or some other non-existent file/shell.

I cannot reboot the server to upgrade the os (make world...). As a temporary fix, can I chmod 000 logon or possibly even remove it completely? Should everything function correctly? (OpenSSH mainly)?
