Depends on how you are initially authenticating them
If thru unique web/subweb permissions (requiring authentication from the site server)
- it is not possible to log out until the browser is closed
If thru a DB (holding credentials to check) and a sign on ASP script w/ a Session variable (checking on each page for slog in
status) you can log them out by making the logout kill the session state
