Login time restriction

Message

By editing /etc/security/time.conf I should restrict user login/whatever only for times I want. However, this never works here. Maybe I do something wrong, maybe I need anything more?

the line is:

Code: Select all

*;*;xxx;Al1000-2100

That means user xxx can do anything on my system only from 10:00 to 21:00 every day....if I understand right. However I can login as xxx before and after this time restrict.
What is wrong here?

LukynZ,

Code: Select all

       services;ttys;users;times
...
       The first field, the services field, is a logic list of PAM service
       names that the rule applies to.

You need to be using pam for authentication, so services needs to be whatever the pam login service is called.

yes, but * means all services

But you need to activate the pam_time modul in your PAM Service Files, it is not in there by default.
