Sorry, I won't be there.  If my answers are the winners, consider
donating it to the CLUE projector fund cause.

There are several ways.  1. Find the system that originated the connections.
Lot out from the inactive terminals.  2. Find the PID of the shell on
your system that is running on the inactive tty.  (use ps -axuw and grep
for the tty name)  Kill that PID.  3. Use a program like 'force' that
lets you send characters to another tty (as root).  Send a ^D (EOF) to
that tty - then the shell will exit, the connection will close, and
the handler daemon will die.

Yes.  You could test this by doing a loop-iso9660 mount of the image.
