i want to deny certain users based on time to login to my machine i am using CentOs 5.0 any sugestions?

Use /etc/security/time.conf to make rules.

For example :

means that all users except for bobby can login between 0800 and 2000.

The manpage is accurate -

Hello,

If I'm not mistaking, CentOS uses PAM and you should have a file called time.conf in /etc/security. Have a look at that file, it's pretty well documented if I remember well. Also you can have a look at this site which explains the basics of PAM.

Kind regards,

Eric
