Maybe "sac" will do it for you, it allows to take care for overlapping
logins of the same user.

However, you said something about prepaying.  Doesn't that mean you'll
kick out the user of the session if s/he does not close first, or pay
for a prolongation?

This could be done with an "at" job running "slay user" for example.

Best Regards,

Jorge-Le'on

Yes, I know it, but it must run on each Workstation... which have
NO LOCAL users. Users are authenticated by NIS, which is installed
on the nfs-server (with all the /home directories)

My problem is, that I do not know, how I can get the results after
closing the session from the workstations to my sql-Server...

The ohter thing is, that acct fails, if the user open more then one
virtual console... the time count twice. I need only the time from
the first login to the close of the last console.

I was thinking, that there is a tool which control the nfs-server
and count the time, a user directory is conected to a workstation.

The nfs-server is mounted from the /etc/fstab with

cc-nfs.michelle-is.de:/home/homenfsdefaults0   2

Thanks
Michelle

I haven't foud such a tool in debian.

However I have been pointed to zeiberbude (yes, I know, the name comes
from krypton):

http://zeiberbude.sf.net

I'm currently reviewing it for my case. I don't think it fits
*exactly* what you have in mind, but it might be a good starting
point.

As said when I asked, I might package it for debian if I choose to use
it.

HTH,

cybercafe management software - me too ;-))

2002-12-18 Thread Michelle Konzack
Hello,

curently I am in creation of a Debian based Cyber-Center in Strasbourg.

The clients get a userid/password and can login, on which machine they
want. All users have a private home-directoy which is on a nfs-server.

Authentication is done by NIS.

My Clients must make prepay, which mean, they pay for example 10 Euro
and can use the Computer for exapmle 3 cents/minute.

Now my question:There is a tool (I do not know the name) which can
count the login-time of users...
How can I use it, to bill my Clients ?


Thanks
Michelle
