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

http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/security/?p=319

For example :

Code:
login ; * ; !bobby ; MoTuWeThFr0800-2000
http ; * ; !bobby ; MoTuWeThFr0800-2000
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
