how about somethink like..

foreach f (`ps axug | grep <username> | awk '{print $2}'`) { kill -1 $f }

Although that could have seriously bad side effects =)
(and it's zsh, dunno if sh/csh etc. likes that)

The package "skill" in the sysutils collection is more handy if you've got
a lot of users, although you could just write a shell script...
