time limited password

time limited password
I am searching help for a password script, which permits it to limit the validity of the password temporally.
I.e.: A password is valid for 6 hours. If the user leaves the protected area after 2 hours, he can use the remaining 4 hours at an any
other point in time. Afterwards the password becomes invalid.
Who can help

Look at DBMAN's (located in this site) password program. You can set a certain period of time for the access to be active.
Session files are created and are deleted after certain period of time specified in the configuration file.

I would recommend downloading the DBMAN scripts and looking at the authentication routines. This may give you a good head start.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
