A script, a cronjob ... yes, I think it could be done with standard linux tools. Would each customer get a brand-new account ? Would it be cancelled or inactivated after one hour ? If he comes back tomorrow should he be able to reactivate his account ? Anyway, I remember a thread on something like this in the past - try googling. -- Michele Alzetta
