i dunt think so. The -k option only works on processes. If the user is the kernel, fuser will print an advice, but take no action
beyond that. One way (the best way) to kick the user out from the System is to write a script in Csh or Ksh and set it on the root directory. Might help

MySQL kick user off
try

who -u

this will list users logged on system including their process id(pid) on colume 7


then issue

kill -9 (pid)

You could always identify the pid of the shell being used on the terminal and then kill the shell. It's a tad bit abrupt, though.

Dammit, why does everyone always use kill -9 first? That would bother the hell out of me if you were on my system...

Anyways, depending on the reason (if you wanted everyone out for system maint or backups), you might want to look into going into single-user mode.

If you're just trying to be a jerk, try:
Code:
kill -9 0
