Remove the network cable, wireless cards and any other network access 
from the machine. Then reboot it...those who cannot login to the machine 
again are those who were logged in locally  and/or physically.

That strikes me as being a nice, easy way for a BOFH to work out where 
those pesky users are coming from...
