(they may not work with display managers like xdm though, since they typically have lousy pam support) the package slay should also work well for terminating a login. i would avoid using signal 9 right off though, better to use 15, and only go to 9 if something refuses to die. for an X session all you usually have to kill is the xsession script if its setup correctly (with exec windowmanager) > :D , most of the people who are gonna be using this aren't that up with > the play of computers so they'll believe anything I tell them. ah good, those kind are great for entertainment and toys... er </bofh> > Yeah, probably might be best going down the GNU/Linux path cause the guy > I'm waiting on to write the windows app to control users' logins and > logouts is dragging the chain. i think you already have the tools you need for login limits and such, look at logoutd, slay, skill, pam_time etc. a few more details on how things will be setup might be helpful (well you may not know yet ;-)) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
