Oh yes - you definitely want to update the datetimestamp on each hit. Not really a problem (aside from the fact that I didn't mention it).

You would need to update the structure every time the user hits another page, otherwise every client would always be deemed logged out after X minutes with this method.. Tell me if I am wrong, I did have a few wines so could be way off here....
