   If you just want to keep users from sharing passwords you can use =
smartcard logon.  You can configure the system to lock or log out users =
when the smartcard is removed.

  Have you considered (since you obviously can't remove the person from

proximity
  logon systems?  Each employee has a badge that will only unlock the =
machine
  if they are within 5-8 feet of the receiver.  Carmax has a system like =
that.
  When the sales person moves away from the computer, it auto locks the
  desktop, and only when they move back into range again, does it =
unlock.  I
  believe that the card and logged on user must match or the computer =
won't
  activate.  If a different user walks up than was logged in, they get a =
logon
  screen.  Multiple sales people can be logged in, working with =
different
  customers.  So, when they come back from a test drive, they can just =
walk up
  to the system that they were on, and their last point of reference
  re-appears.

  Sounds like it would be easier to replace the employee though.
