    Hi,

    I am currently running FreeBSD 4.9, and I have a user who somehow managed
    to get some dead bash processes. I have repeatedly attempted to kill -9
    this process without any luck. The way I understood it was that kill -9 was an
    "offer that the process can't refuce" :) I.e. that the process would be
    terminated no matter wat by the OS?

    I tried man kill, and noticed that some shells might have a builtin kill
    command. Therefore I even tried running /bin/kill explicitly with no
    further luck.

    Does anyone have an idea of what I have to do, in order to kill the
    proces?

    Cheers,

    --
