     or what about '\kill'?  On our Unix (tm) machines running BSD 4.3
     (Vax 11/780 with dualed cpu's),  as well as on our Sequent Balance
     21000 running Dynix (tm) 2.1 (I think we haven't updated to 3.0 yet)
     I think that this is a standard on all BSD derivative so that
     some "Bimby" can't prevent themselves from logging out.
