What is the best way to force logout a particular user
<uncooperative_teenager> on a remote system (of which I have administrator
rights) and temporarily prevent additional logins?
I've come up with:
ssh to remote system and login to my admin account
use "passwd uncooperative_teenager" and change their password
use ps -aux to see all processes
kill process ID of their
/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow
process.
I've tested this on my local system, but haven't yet tried it on a remote
system. Any better alternatives?
