Take a look at INVORTEX Technologies' program - Public Access Manager (PAM)
which is available for download at www.invortex.com.  PAM allows the IT
administrator to OPTIONALLY enable a number of features including:
    Require logon with a Students/Patrons ID# and optionally a 3 or 4 digit
PIN number
    Different user profiles for Students/Patrons and Staff
    Creates User Activity Log for data mining
    Secures OS and software applications
    Automatic End-of-Day PC Shutdown
    Set session time and print limits
    URL Restriction
