somewhere else....
So if they come in from anywhere outside of your domain, you can make them
log in.
If you really want to be strict about it, put a redirect in the http header
that will log them out if they are inactive for more than x seconds. On the
logout page you can clear/delete the sessions.
If they leave the site without logging out, then you can delete any
sessions that have been inactive for more than x seconds.
You might chew up a lot of server resources doing this, but you could make
your stats a little more accurate.
Actually, now that i think about it, you don't neecessarily need the
redirect, unless you want to clear the page of whatever was on it....
Hope that helps
