That takes care of login but not periods. That is, users log in but don't have to log out at any set time (or ever). It can be used to set access periods for other services, but I don't see how to restrict internet access that way. Googling I see [1] which points to [2] which suggests using cron to force a logout, and various timekpr, with a fork under development[3].
