Kicking users
Hey ladies and gents-
I had someone SSHed into my box the other day (my laptop) while at
work and I wanted to screw with him by booting him off. I obviously
have root on my box, but I wonder if there is any "official" or
"proper" way to make a user leave the system?
Something along the lines of a "kick" is what I'm after. I achieved
the same result by killing his topmost bash process, but not only is
that probably dangerous and unpredictable, it doesn't let me add a
mean message ;-)
What do sysadmins do if they find a user is doing something malicious
and they want them gone? From a real world standpoint I can see the
benefits to having such a capacity, even if my intentions are less
than noble.
Thanks ;-)
