Restrict Logon Time

Hey Guys,

I need to restrict logon time on a user account, just like in UNIX posix, using the useradd with the -x option and the parameter logon_hours.

But, in the linux distributuion that i have ( a brasillian one , running KDE ) dosent have this option.

wich solution may i use ???

I think this can be archieved quite easily with some pam modules (IIRC there is one allready for limiting the logon hours).

Check the PAM administrators guide for reference, especially the section 6.25 should be what you are looking for.
