Don't most flavors of unix support the /etc/nologin file? The contents of that file will be displayed instead of the usual 'Login please' prompt to telnet connections, as well as preventing logins, except from root. Try 'man login' from your unix shell prompt for more info. Just setup the file as /etc/nologin.bak or something, then rename it at the appropriate time, get everyone off, resize, rename the file back.
