autolog
=======

Autolog is a version of autologout (0.35 Oct 1998)
This is a modified version of autolog. Autolog itself was branched from
autologout in October 1998. The code was not maintained since then, so all
modifications will be published here.

A small utmp logging utility for Unix. Autolog aims at disconnecting idle users
based on the entries in the utmp file. It's behaviour is highly customizable
through a config file that supports the use of regexps to specify user names
and groups to act on. You should test it WITH CARE.
From the original autolog README:

According to David Dickson, the code originally came from the "Wizard's
Grabbag" from the May 1990 Unix World. He ported the code essentially
unchanged.
