 how to kill an idle user in ssh
Author: matthew72

I have an idle user running in freebsd. I am logged in twice but the system has me as loggedin 3 times.

How would I log off this "ghost" that isnt really there anyway?

You can 'kill' the connection.
You can see what processes are running by using something like "ps auxw|grep ttyp0", then you can use the PIDs that you get from ps to kill the programs opened by that section.

In particular you can kill the sshd for that particular session.

A little off topic, but if you use bash you can set the TMOUT variable in .profile to automatically kill the login after so many seconds.
