reboot? Some processes are designed to restart after a kill, often the way to tell is after you kill them they re-appear with a new PID.
For example this line in inittab respawns (or restarts) the getty on console 1 at runlevels 2, 3, 4 & 5. If you kill it, it will restart. 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1 You can also start other persistent services here if you want. One I have seen is pptpd (pptp VPN server). Also some processes are called on demand by [x]inetd. SO, before assuming kill isn't working, check the program is not being restarted by another process.
