If I'm reading you correctly, you want to reduce the maximum session time of
users that are already logged in.

If that's the case, Session-Timeout won't help, since it only takes affect when
the user logs in.

If you want to kick off people based on that sort of criteria, I'd recommend
you take a look at the Term Server Monitor program (www.tsmon.com)

Although it's commercial it's worth the money. You can set it so it'll automatically
kick off the longest session when your lines get to less than X free. It also
stops multiple-logins etc etc.

'Course you could always grab some of the free utils floating around and hack
them together to do the same, if you're that way inclined.
