autolog works nicely, i modified it to deal with a dialup setup we have here. 4 different locations dial on demand manually using a program called wconnect. But anyways, once in awhile they forget to hang up the long distance connection. So I changed autolog to not actually send the logout/kill but to send email to my pager and I can log in and see whether they're just idle for two hours or whether they're using the connection. The out of box setup is to either disconnect the user with or without warning, or to do absolutely nothing at all, unfortunately.
