Kicking users?

[Jeff Mings]

Thanks, Scott and Gary.

I actually knew about idled - found it on Freshmeat.net.  Using skill 
with the -u switch will probably work best, as I want to  remove users 
who have not only forgotten, but lost their connections and are still 
logged on by the host.  Kicking them off on demand rather than by time 
lapse will work best.

Thanks,
-Jeff
