Sorry, I did some googling and found pam_time not pam_timeout. Here is
the link, from what I can make of it by looking at the source it seems
to read a configuration file, reads in the variables, checks the time
var vs. the current time and logs the person out. I think its what you
are looking for.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pam/Linux-PAM/modules/pam_time/
