        Yes.  Thanks & sorry :).

        Hmm.  It'd be nice if it worked like the Cistron one.  The link 
below links to a post on the Ascend RADIUS list, but you'll notice it's 
talking about Cistron RADIUS.

        The relevant bit is:
-------------
  Login-Time defines the time span a user may login to the system. The
        ....
  Radiusd calculates the number of seconds left in the time span, and
  sets the Session-Timeout to that number of seconds. So if someones
  Login-Time is "Al0800-1800" and she logs in at 17:30, Session-Timeout
  is set to 1800 seconds so that she is kicked off at 18:00.
-------------

        Anyway, I'm using Cistron at the moment, but am hoping to upgrade 
to GNU late this year.  Is there a way to achieve the same effect with GNU 
RADIUS?  

        :)
