if you have access to the system, you could probably limit the systems TCP keep alive time. If it doesn't see activity in a certain amount of time that connection is closed and the Apache thread is released. When that's closed the session should be released as well.

I don't know if it shows people after they actually bother to log out, but it might. The fact is that the list just has no connection to reality. I don't know if actually reading the Session table would be any better either.

That's right. But you can set an amount of minutes after the user's last activity. After this the user isn't displayed as "online" until the next page is called. Sure, it isn't reality, but most times it's not far from it.

If Roger wants to show such a block, views is my recommendation. If it's not accurate enough, I have no recommendation. But if hiding admin users is all that he wants to change about the display provided by core, that should do it.
