Not a bad idea - In my more adolescent days (*grin*) I wrote a script I called
'screw' which set the display to localhost, and ran 'endsession -f', which on
the SGI Indy and O2 machines closes the current X session. So I could just
type 'rsh <remotecomputer> screw' and log someone out. Could be done by hand,
but the script made Session Wars so much easier... don't ask, in a lab of 30
SGIs we sometimes get punchy...

No it won't, but you can add it to the startup scripts, either for that
particular user, or for XDM if that's what you run. For XDM, look in
/var/X11R6/lib/xdm for the file Xsetup_0, and add the commands there. (That's
on a Slackware box, don't know if it's in a different location on RedHat)
