Package: timeoutd (1.5-10.1)

Flexible user timeout daemon with X11 support

timeoutd enforces the time restrictions specified for each or all users.

timeoutd scans /var/run/utmp every minute and checks /etc/timeouts for an entry which matches a restricted user, based on: 

 - The current day and time
 - The tty that the user is currently logged in on
 - The user's login ID
 - Any primary or secondary groups the user is in
timeoutd can restrict local users, X11-users and users via telnet/SSH for a maximum of their session, max. day, idle or no login at all.

timeoutd is also able to restrict users running X.
