Damon, Sessions have to do with requests being sent by browsers to the web server. Each time you close all the windows of your browser on your computer and start the browser again, a new session is started. I suspect that since all your users are essentially using the same web browser (since their monitors and keyboards are not really separate computers, but peripherals on the same machine), a browser window open on one terminal is keeping alive a session started by another user on another terminal when she or he first started the browser. Does that make sense? Anyway, if that's your case, then I don't believe there's anything that can be done.
