What are you asking here?
Is this user still showing as logged in via a "who" command and you want to kill that login session?
If so, try:
#who -uH
You should see the PID of that login session. Kill it. It may need a signal 9 kill to get rid of it. Make sure that this login session has been idle and is not in use. The idle time will by shown in the above "who" command.

KILL(1) General Commands Manual KILL(1)
NAME
kill, broke - print commands to kill processes
SYNOPSIS
kill name
broke
DESCRIPTION
Kill prints commands that will cause all processes called name and owned by the current user to be terminated. Use the send command of
81/2(1), or pipe the output of kill into rc(1) to execute the commands.
Kill suggests sending a kill note to the process; the same message delivered to the process's ctl file (see proc(3)) is a surer, if heavy
handed, kill, but is necessary if the offending process is ignoring notes.
Broke prints commands that will cause all processes in the Broken state and owned by the current user to go away. When a process dies
because of an error caught by the system, it may linger in the Broken state to allow examination with a debugger. Executing the commands
printed by broke lets the system reclaim the resources used by the broken processes.
