Binary package hint: timeoutd

My 14 year-old daughter managed to circumvent timeoutd in about 10 minutes. The contents of my /etc/timeouts file contain a single line as follows:

Al2200-0800:*:loginid:*:NOLOGIN

If I understand the documentation correctly, this should prevent logins from 8PM to 8AM (while she should be sleeping, etc). Sure enough, a pop-up appears once per minute during this time stating that logins are not currently allowed. If you close the dialog (by clicking the Okay button or the close box) or if you don't respond to the dialog, it does indeed log her out. Her "hack" is to minimize the dialog, then right-click and close it from the Window List applet in the panel. In this case, the dialog becomes an irritant but nothing more.

Please let me know if additional testing or information is required.

Thanks!
