You mean a watchdog program, like "watchdog" for idle time, or
do you mean soft session limits (using the source code to "last",
most likely, to implement them) to kick sessions above a certain
duration, or do you mean a per user per day duration quota (which
would require modifying everything that touches the passwd file
and the GECOS field usage, as well as login and having a "last"
based session duration enforcer, or a sperate file and just login
itself, probably "init" and an enforcer program)?
