Hi! I want to limit the time of a user on my system. Exemple : I want to limit the login to 5 hours (maximum) a day AND 15 hours (maximum) a week. I want the system to automaticly log out the user went he exceed his login time. This could normaly be done by the pam_time module, but in the documentation, it's said : "Note, currently there is no daemon enforcing the end of a session. This needs to be remedied." (at the end of the documentation on pam_time) I just want to know if we can do something about this. I can give a hand to implement that if somebody have a solution ... I will explain the reason why I found this useful to limit the login time of a user. I want to be able to restrict the computer time of my kids. I know that other people want this (I did a google search). If Linux is to succeed in my family and other families, it could be very useful to have that. One of the solution is to use the daemon (service) "logoutd" that is present on all major distribution (I think, not sure). But it's not good because I was not able to force the end of an X session : the user is log out the login program in the terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1), but the X session is still alive (Ctrl-Alt-F7). Killing the login session do not trigger a kill to the X session. (I know I don't use the right terms for this, excuse me) Could we implement a service for PAM that automaticly logout a user ? Thanks ! and excuse me for my bad english :) Matthieu _______________________________________________ Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
