does node time-out exist?

Something like Schedule Module (allows a time-out or expire to be set) but when the creator of the node logs in and edits the node, the timer is reset.

User Login/Logut Time Limit

_______________________________________________

Purpose:
_______________________________________________
If possible through the Drupal environment, how do I add a time limit for sessions so that they will close/log out after idle time? Simply put, how do I fix this? I need Drupal to log out sessions when all browsers are closed. Lets talk about it!

_______________________________________________

Situation Background:
_______________________________________________
Drupal is a great package. The only thing that I just realize by studying it, is the problem with the login/logout functionality.

I logged in on Thursday at 10 am as an administrator. I didn't log out. I just close my web browsers and turned off my computer. On Friday around 10:30 pm, I typed in the http location of my drupal site; and behold, my session as an administrator that I logged in on Thursday is still there. This is a serious "no no" for me.

Test Case:
_______________________________________________
Say some user in the public library logs into my Drupal site, and forgets to log out. Some other person using the same station/computer can make changes logged in as the previous user. This is a sercurity problem.

Suggestion for the module section on Drupal.org

Since the module download section is an alphabetized listing. I think it would be really helpful if recent additions were flagged by date or a new (by two weeks), perhaps a sort option. I've noticed myself checking at least once a week to see if anything new has been released/updated, with nothing more than my own memory to reference.

Hopefully you will take this into consideration.

hope not to be OT -

How to identify a user

Hi,
I'm using a drupal form to fill and modify my database (in MySQL). One of the columns must be user and must indicate which user entered or modified the information.

My question is: In which variable or whit which command or function do i identify the users?

Drupal kicks ass in search pages.

Pardon my French. But just couldn't help it. :)

I haven't even launched my website and a dummy node with gibberish content is already number one in the search pages of yahoo and google. Can I say "madly in love with Drupal" enough? :) And I had no choice but to work on a "This site is still being created" message just to discourage people from registering!

My girlfriend's gonna be jealous again hehe.
