To kill a user, you can try killall <username>. I have not tried that

What flavor of Unix? Be careful running this command at random on unknown
*nix varieties -- on Solaris, for example, it kills *all* processess...
This worked with SGI IRIX. I had a user login and play a prank on me by
playing a sound file in a loop. Somehow he logged in with tcsh and I was
not able to kill the process he was using. I tried a 'killall username'
(or maybe a kill -9 username) and that got rid of him.
