Take the who command, you see the following;
root tty1 Oct 21 21:57
richard tty2 Oct 21 22:46
Now you want to "kick" as you say, richard off the system, you must be root
of course, now do 'ps ax' and look for the process running on tty 2 (in this
case) it would be something like the following.
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
11558 2 S 0:00 /bin/login -- richard
11558 is the PID and 2 is the tty.
kill 11558 (this should also kill child processes as well).
{man kill}
He will now be removed from your system.
Remember one thing, that is a brutal way to rid your system of a user.
