How to Restrict user login after certain time in Solaris??

My OS is Solaris 10, I would like to know if there is any way to restrict user login to the system (either remote or console login) after certain time, say 20:00 on Mon to Fri and whole day on SAT and SUN???

Sorry that I am a new user on Unix System.

Any comment is fully appreciated!!!

There is no built in mechanism for that in Solaris. Linux comes with a PAM module named pam_time, but I could not find a Solaris port.

I guess you may use crontabs for this.

A wild thinking!!!

How about playing around /etc/passwd file for example say 20:00 on Mon to Fri and whole day on SAT and SUN you can replace or comment the line in /etc/passwd. Schedule a script which can perform the task and once through every morning removed the replace the file with actual one or remove the cooment line from /etc/passwd!!!!!
