Expiring user login?

I am by no means a networking expert, so my next bit of advice is: Re-post this in the Questions Forum (you clicked the Discussion button) if nothing I've offered helps. Good luck.

Don't allow them to stay logged in all night. Make it company policy that they have to either shutdown or reboot every time they leave.

I don't know why you'd ant to stay logged in or running all night. Energy costs and security.
