I sent this question to newsgroup comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc but I found
the two answers I got not sufficient. The answers were like "it's inherent
to Unix" and "Just kill those processes".
So now I'm trying the mailing list.

Hello FreeBSD users,
We are an ISP and we recently installed FreeBSD 3.1 on our main
logonserver. Since than almost every day we find timeconsuming processes
running while the user isn't even logged in (anymore). These programs are
mostly tin and lynx and such interactive programs. We are sure that they
were started to run in foreground. However in the top-example "brouwert"
was not logged in at that moment. Only thing we can do is to kill the
proces.
Does anyone has a clue what's the cause of this ?
