logoff ghost user
I just noticed by running a who command that I was logged in twice . So two admin2 are on the list. (solaris 2.6)
Since I telnet using a windows 98, I suppose that I forgot to CTRL-D last time I logged in and clicked on hangup.
In such a case, how can I loggoff the old ghost loggin ?
It's not a process so cannot use KILL, or can I ?
Securitywise, it does not look so wise to have an open loggin.
Thanks for your enlightments.

rwalld(1M) rwalld(1M)
NAME
rwalld - network rwall server
SYNOPSIS
log_file]
DESCRIPTION
is an RPC server that handles requests (see rwall(1)). calls to send a message to all users logged into the host on which is running (see
wall(1)).
invokes through (see inetd(1M)).
Options
recognizes the following options and command-line options:
Log any errors to
log_file. Errors are not logged if the option is not specified.
Information logged to the log file includes date and time of the error, the host name, process ID and name of the
function generating the error, and the error message. Note that different services can share a single log file
because enough information is included to uniquely identify each error.
Exit after serving each RPC request.
Using the option, the security file can control access to RPC services.
Exit only if:
o dies (see portmap(1M)),
o another registers with or
o becomes unregistered with
The option is more efficient because a new process is not launched for each RPC request. Note, this option is the default.
