The good old parental control problem. How might one control user login times
and periods using pam (or polkit)?

Never tried by myself, but maybe this is useful:

Use /etc/security/time.conf, as described here:

That takes care of login but not periods. That is, users log in but
don't have to log out at any set time (or ever). It can be used to set
access periods for other services, but I don't see how to restrict
internet access that way.

Googling I see [1] which points to [2] which suggests using cron to
force a logout, and various timekpr, with a fork under development[3].

So I put an appropriate line in /etc/security/time.conf

This had no effect.

So I placed in /etc/pam.d/kdm "session required pam_time.so"

This prevented ALL logins, likely crashing the login itself. There was no
message such as "log in not permitted" or such.

So for what the time.conf can do, how does one set it up correctly? Or is it a
bug?
