This is just a guess, but couldn't you make a simple bash script that "slept" for an hour and then logged the person out? It would probably be nice for it to warn the user first though :)

I would like to know if there is a way of have user logins time limited. Can i have a server with NIS (or something else) where my web cafe clients have a standart unix account, and the clients (the computers) that login at the server through NIS, but only if the user account is active. The client go to the cafe, pay one hour of use, go to a computer, login, and after that hour of use the computer logout. Is this possible using standard linux tools? Do i need another kind of software? Does someone know something that does what i need? Thanks. Francisco Castanheiro
