Lo and behold, Marc O'Leary once said:

For the inactivity, just use "set all idletime XX" where XX is the
number of minutes they can stay online.

Obviously, this doesn't always work. :) We've established an
"absolute session time limit" by using pmwho and pmcom (a little "rsh"
type utility I wrote for the portmasters), and a perl script.

pmwho: ftp://ftp.aros.net/pub/util/pm/pmwho.c (This is a GREAT utility..
I based my pmcom code on it and I'm very appreciative of
Johan Persson for writing it)

pmcom: ftp://ftp.aros.net/pub/util/pm/pmcom-1.0.c
Syntax: pmcom <portmaster> "command"

timeout: ftp://ftp.aros.net/pub/util/pm/timeout
A perl script to "flush" users off if they've been online
too long. Needs to be combined with a cron entry to call it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
