Linux - managing remote users

[Farfrael]

A simple question but i couldn't find the answer (i have searched) .
I know how to list users connected to the system (who, w), how to list processes (ps -e) but i don't know how to kick a user who is already connected

I tried apropos kick/disconnect but couldn't find anything.

Thanks in advance for any answer

Kill their shell.

i finally thought about it but it seems ... i don't know ... brutal

Anything more "elegant" ? A special command ?

What's not elegant about it? There's not really any other way to do it. When you type 'exit' in the shell all it does is quit, so killing it is the same thing as long as you don't use -9 for no reason.
