Shells: AUTO LOGOFF of idle users

I set up an Ubuntu 9.04 Server fordevelopment purpose and made it online through dyndns [more info], It can access by anyone of our team. We got some accessing problem because all our developers logged in through ssh without any need. So there are many users logged in and stay idle.

What we need to increase the efficiency is to force all idle users out. Here how I do this:

THIS IS BASED ON UBUNTU SERVER EDITION 9.04

Most of the developers do their works on localhost. I am using my ubuntu machine installed with apache2, mySql and PHP5 for my works.

If one of my clients wants to access my localhost to check my works, I have to either buy a host [still, it is the best idea], having large space so that I can add my development; but it costs time and money.
