You can always kill their process.

I.e.

ps -aux | grep username
 get the PID for the login process

kill -9 851
 where 851 is the PID.

But what do you care if somemone is idling on the server?  It doesn't take
up hardly any resources at all.  I tend to idle on several client's servers
over SSH so when I need to check something I don't have to login blah blah
and then execute my command.
