      <command>logoutd</command> enforces the login time and port
      restrictions specified in <filename>/etc/porttime</filename>. 
      <command>logoutd</command> should be started from
      <filename>/etc/rc</filename>. The <filename>/var/run/utmp</filename>
      file is scanned periodically and each user name is checked to see if
      the named user is permitted on the named port at the current time. 
      Any login session which is violating the restrictions in
      <filename>/etc/porttime</filename> is terminated.
