You're not killing swapper. Please read `man 2 kill':
If pid is greater than zero:
Sig is sent to the process whose ID is equal to pid.
If pid is zero:
Sig is sent to all processes whose group ID is equal to the pro-
cess group ID of the sender, and for which the process has per-
mission; this is a variant of killpg(2).
So you were sending a `HUP' to login processes, which (surpringly)
logs you out.
