I have probs like this:
In one of the domains, I have to limit the users
access time after working hours, I have to manually inform and either kill
them.
How do I set this work in some configuration so that it kick him out after
exceed the time or forbid
him from logging in  ?
Seem like there's not built in utility like in NT4.
I am running RedHat 6.2, with 25 users in that domain.

Thanks.

Rgds,
Terng

Hi,

2 things come in my mind.
1. You can do some shell scripting in /etc/profile, /etc/login.... to check
login ID and time & kick the user out during login in after business hours.
This will not help against users which are already logged in.
2. create a script to kill all login sessions and run it i.e
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55    20-23    *    *    *
/<somepath</<myscript>
via cron. This gives user a maximum of 5 minut�s to work.
Depends on your requirements/budget what is the better solution. May be you
will use a combination.

Hope this helps.

Frank

Yup
like frank just said, write a script that locks logins at a certain
time, and sends a mesg to everyone logged in that in 5 minutes their
processes will be killed.  then add a couple lines to kill all the
logins associated with those IP's
