I've had trouble killing logins manually that way, although I admit
that I've been using a plain 'kill' command, not 'kill -9'.
Where I need to do this most often is for SSH users whose sessions
time out due to connectivity problems. I kill their processes and
shell, but the login still just sits there for a really long time
(hours? days? .. in 'who' anyway) before it goes away.
