The old session will eventually die off, but if you really want to kill
it, type:

w
-- Note the TTY of your old connection
ps -ax | grep ssh
-- Find the PID (1st column) of the sshd that matches username at ttypX,
where X is the TTY from w's output.
kill -9 PID
-- FIll in the correct PID for the old shh session from above.
Typing "w" again should show that the connection is now dead.
