[Young, Mike]

The "lastlog" command might help you here, too.

You could have an accounting script run via .bashrc, say a counter
script gets reset everytime the user logs in.  Or, more simply, have
.bashrc  call a script which looks of the time and date, compares it to the
last entry, and if the requisite time has passed kicks them out - if not,
updates the date to the current provided.

This is about as simple a solution as I can think of...
