freebsd stable - Dec 2004 - Logging out the user

Hello,


Sorry for this newbie question, but I don't know how I can
do this.
When I type "who" at the command prompt I can see the active
users.
How can I kill a user from that list?
There are some users whos process has stuck. How can I kill
those as well?


Thanks,
Peter

The second column in the output from 'who' shows the tty the user is 
logged in from, for example, 'ttyp1'.

You can find the processes attached to that tty with 'ps tp1'

Then you can kill those processes (start with SIGHUP) ...
'kill -HUP ####'

ps -Uusername

then kill as above.
