I know how to kill and restart this process... just don't know how to kick a
single user.  Better explain the situation as I am not sure how to ask my
question really.

I recently set up a FreeBSD 4.4 mp3/ftp server.  If you go to my website, it
is just a directory listing of all my mp3s with playlist songs to stream
mp3s from the web.

Well, while trying to listen to my mp3s this morning, they were super
choppy.  Winamp couldn't keep up with the buffer.  I log into my server and
find that there are like 40+ connections to port 80 from one single IP....
So this person must be d/ling MP3s directly from my web interface instead of
requesting ftp access to my site.... so I do a killall -HUP httpd which
kills all the connections and restarts my daemon... check netstat -Aan and
everything looks normal.... my mp3s start streaming nicely... for about 1
minute (probably less).  Check netstat -Aan again and all the 40+
connections are back...

Can I kill that user off of httpd?  If so, what commands do I use?
