This is a nice idea.
I have uploaded a new version of AuthGeneric.pm that understands a special
format of Session-Timeout:
Session-Timeout = until 1800
for example would compute a Session-Timeout in seconds until 6 pm. If its after
6pm, it will be 6pm the next day.
Download from
http://www.open.com.au/radiator/downloads/patches-2.14.1/AuthGeneric.pm
and let me know if it works for you.
Cheers.
