Otherwise the easiest may to get rid of it is to just use its tty again..ie telnet to localhost a few times or use screen. It happened because login entered your connection in the wtmp database but because you killed telnetd it didnt get a chance to delete it. In the future find the PID of your shell and kill -1 <pid> Andrew
