I'm trying to write a auto-logout facility and am using vhangup to
reinitialise a users tty. This does some bizarre things, and several
people have suggested that I kill the users shell process instead.

I was wondering if anyone had any experiences( pleasant or unpleasant)
with the vhangup() call. I'd appreciate any suggestions...
