Thanks Mark, Thierry,

I've looked quite a bit into account policy. It allows locking an account
after an inactivity limit, but from my understanding, it doesn't offer a
way to lock it in a pre-configured future time without inactivity.

I think this would be a useful feature. I may open a RFE.

Cheers
Cenk
