Close UNIX terminal
Hi,
In one of the circumstances, my manager asked my password and opened unix terminal (Putty) with my user credentials. Its been more than 2 days that terminal is opened (saw it through finger command). How do I close that terminal which is not opened in my pc. I'm very uncomfortable of the putty session opened with my user credentials in my manager's pc.
Please no advices of giving my password to my manager. I have already done it. So please let me know if there is a way to close it from pc as the putty session is opened with my user id and passwords.

pam_setcred
PAM_SETCRED(3) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_SETCRED(3)
NAME
pam_setcred - establish / delete user credentials
SYNOPSIS
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_setcred(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_setcred function is used to establish, maintain and delete the credentials of a user. It should be called to set the credentials
after a user has been authenticated and before a session is opened for the user (with pam_open_session(3)). The credentials should be
deleted after the session has been closed (with pam_close_session(3)).
A credential is something that the user possesses. It is some property, such as a Kerberos ticket, or a supplementary group membership that
make up the uniqueness of a given user. On a Linux system the user's UID and GID's are credentials too. However, it has been decided that
these properties (along with the default supplementary groups of which the user is a member) are credentials that should be set directly by
the application and not by PAM. Such credentials should be established, by the application, prior to a call to this function. For example,
initgroups(2) (or equivalent) should have been performed.
Valid flags, any one of which, may be logically OR'd with PAM_SILENT, are:
PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED
Initialize the credentials for the user.
PAM_DELETE_CRED
Delete the user's credentials.
PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED
Fully reinitialize the user's credentials.
PAM_REFRESH_CRED
Extend the lifetime of the existing credentials.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_BUF_ERR
Memory buffer error.
PAM_CRED_ERR
Failed to set user credentials.
PAM_CRED_EXPIRED
User credentials are expired.
PAM_CRED_UNAVAIL
Failed to retrieve user credentials.
PAM_SUCCESS
Data was successful stored.
PAM_SYSTEM_ERR
A NULL pointer was submitted as PAM handle, the function was called by a module or another system error occured.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User is not known to an authentication module.
