Maybe a login page for the techs that triggers the changing of the aliases
with sed-like scripts.. add them when they log in, remove them when they log
out, and also remove them after a certain amount of time if they don't log
out. That way you aren't depentent on certain times, and changing schedules,
like vacations or sick days.
