(RADIATOR) Expirations more granular than one day

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Allen -

It sounds like you need an EXPIRY field in your database, and an 
AuthSelect query that checks to make sure that the current time is less 
than the EXPIRY. For completeness you should probably also return a 
Session-Timeout that is set to the difference between the current time 
and the EXPIRY.

regards

Hugh
