is there a command to log out others that are logged in to my machine? Like if someone has logged in via ssh and I want them out.

thanks in advance

You can always find their ssh or bash process (depending how they are logged in) with ps, and kill it. That will knock them off the system.

Hi

I will explain explicitly here. DO the following steps :

SSH
-------

1. ps -axj | grep "ssh"
2. kill -9 PID

BASH
--------

1. ps -axj | grep "bash"
2. kill -9 PID

and you are done .

a harsher way, if you are root. netstat -something. find out their IP (you can do it with tcpdump as well). with the IP:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -s IP.OF.THE.VICTIM -j DROP

that should break the conection. I think it's that way... I'd have to check out at home to be completley sure.
