   I have a question regarding the new WHO's ONLINE.   
      
   I made some major improvements and during testing by logging on many    
   users, I notice something about "time limits".   
      
   The WEB SERVER only checks for "OUT OF TIME" at LOGIN TIME. It does not    
   check it on every request.   
      
   When people use the defauly WEB IDLE TIMEOUTS, this is typically not a    
   problem because the WEB will logout the user, and hence the next attempt    
   to request a file will force a re-login and the out of time check is done.   
      
   If the user stays in the WHO's ONLINE forever, with a 1 minute refresh,    
   basically, even if the user runs of time, the web server will not catch    
   it until the user logs off.   
      
   It is now possible to add this to the top of WHOS_ONLINE page (or any    
   page for that matter):   
      
       @IF !ACCESS.OID.OBJECTID_IGNORE_TIME_ONLINE && TIMELEFT <= 0@   
         @MODULE UTL REDIRECT /LOGOUT@   
       @ENDIF@   
      
   This says if the user's IGNORE TIME ONLINE access is not checked, and    
   his TIMELEFT is less than or equal to ZERO, then redirect him to the    
   /LOGOUT url.   
      
   I am just wondering why YOU might think this is not a good idea to have    
   in the whos_online.htm page?   
      
   With the new template customization that sysops can now do, they can    
   also remove this from the WHOS_ONLINE.HTM.   
      
   Comments?   
      
   I was just thinking that if you established time limits, I think the the    
   user should not be able to use the WHOS_ONLINE.HTM to stay on    
   effectively forever, until the next time he has to login.
