Impose a system time limit on user logins ...

Here's a small program that I have been using here for a while, I figured
it would be useful for the net...  It basically imposes a time limit on
user logins.  (Default 30 minutes a session, 60 minutes a day...)  All
changes can be adjusted in the "limit.h" file.

See program comments for more details...  I wrote this on a UNIX pc, but
it should be easily used on any SYS V machine.

# This is a shell archive.  Remove anything before this line, then unpack
# it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file".  To overwrite existing
# files, type "sh file -c".  You can also feed this as standard input via
# unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g..  If this archive is complete, you
# will see the following message at the end:
#		"End of shell archive."

X** Program use:  Make this program the default shell in the /etc/passwd **
X**               file of a user, it will limit the time of a user login **
X**               The user will be warned one minute before he or she is **
X**               "rudely" terminated.  Then if they don't logout, the   **
X**               login process is killed.  It also prevents them from   **
X**               logging into the system more than (predefined) time    **
X**               each day.  The default settings in the limit.h file    **
X**               is 30 minutes a session, 60 minutes a day.             **
X**                                                                      **
X**               NOTE:   The restrict.log file must be cleared out by   **
X**                       a cron, with:                                  **
X**			 0 0 * * * cp /dev/null /usr/adm/restrict.log   **
X**                       or whatever you call that file. If the LOGFILE **
X**                       isn't cleared out, the user will get the       **
X**                       message that they exceeded the time for the    **
X**                       day.                                           **
X**                                                                      **
