How to restrict login times

Hi,
the only docs I found refer to console logins only. How can I restrict
login times for certain users to KDE/gnome?

I see a number of options:

1- IIRC, you can do this through PAM modules. Check the pam-doc for details
of the plugins/configuration.
2- LUM, LUM, and more LUM!
3- There are also 3rd-party products out there. Take a look at
http://www.faronics.com/html/deepfreeze.asp.

HTH!

I just installed it and will start reading.

What is LUM? IBM’s license management software?

It starts at 10 licenses -I need only one. It looks much more powerful
than I would ever need…

Sorry for the confusion here. LUM is ‘Linux User Management’ which is
shipped with Novell’s SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. I monitor both
forums, and mistakenly posted this as an option–it doesn’t ship with
OpenSuSE.

Hello,

Sory for interfeiring this conversation.

I just wanna ask one question:

Is there any way we one can get that LUM to work in openSuSE 10.x or 11?

And if yes how can one get it? (Not through buying SLED or SLES)

I think pam_time is what you are looking for. It’s supposed to be able to restrict specified services, which I guess would be kdm or gdm.

Never tried it myself, let us know if it works.
