Useless use of grep?

kill $(ps -ef | awk ' /baduser/ { print $2 } ' )

It is not compleatly clean as someone editing a file called
'baduser' may also be killed. This is likely when you have a user
called 'foo' as we do (stupid account system from above).

Maybe

kill $(ps -ef | awk ' "baduser" == $1 { print $2 }' )

is better.
