--* Procedure has to be installed under user SYS *
Really? Better to create it in an account that had ALTER SYSTEM privilege. Don't create stuff in SYS or SYSTEM!
In dev/test it may well be OK for the procedure just to check that the requester and the target session share the same OS username or Oracle username, and perhaps that the target is a foreground user session and not PMON or something. In production I'm not sure it should be allowed at all, and the resource limit idea sounds like a better approach.

maybe this script can help you.
we use it to give dedicated uses the possibility to kill sesssions of other users.
if you are using 11g, alter system kill session have a optional 3rd parameter for the instance id in a cluster.
