For anything that is going to call login(1), you can use
/etc/login.access(5). That pretty much eliminates stuff like telnet,
rlogin, and console logins. For SSH, look at the 'AllowUsers' and
'DenyUsers' keywords for the sshd_conf file on the sshd(8)
manpage. And of course, if ftp(1) is an issue, there is /etc/ftpusers
as described in ftpd(8).

None of these options, however, should mess with su(1).
