Say again what you want:  is it automatically to limit
one particular user to a fixed session length?  Do you
have a collection of users you want to limit?  Do you
want to intervene before each action, or have them hap-
pen automatically?  Are the users logging in through
telnetd, sshd, ...?  Are they X consumers?  Precise 
understanding might reveal that this is less convoluted
than it currently appears.
