First, unless he's got a good reason to use telnet, I'd disable it for
him.  In fact I'd disable telnet period <smile>.

Second, you can force him off by killing his bash process.

I haven't done this in a while, but I think you can do it this way:

# ps aux | grep username | grep bash

(where username is the name he logs in through)

Then:

# kill ###

where ### is the number in the first column returned by the above
command.

Don't try this until someone else verifies it though <smile>.  It's
late, and I could be making a mistake <smile>.
