This is it eh - there are some limits that can't be set - I remember having to use 'idled' from the ports to monitor the idle times of users and if they get to 1hr of idle time, auto-log them out as it were via idled (the login.conf setting to do this didn't work!!!). There are a few others but I forget what they are now (password expiry perhaps is one?). :P -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/ http://jez.hancock-family.com/ - personal weblog http://ipfwstats.sf.net/ - ipfw peruser traffic logging
