what exactly do you mean by "time limited access"? Limited by time of day, limit the length of sessions, or what? If it is a time of day problem then you can use .nologin as Paul points out or fiddle authpf.allow and have the cron job kill any copies of authpf at the end of the time window. Whether or not the latter will work I don't know, it will depend on how authpf handles signals. Given that most OBSD programs go out of their way to handle sginals in a sane manner the chances are that sending a HUP or an INT to pfauthd will cause it to shutdown cleanly removing the rules from the anchor as it does so. Suck and see. If you want to limit the time of individual sessions you can use a similar approach of having a cron job that checks each session and kills any that are over their time. Russell
