counter by group

Just wondering if there's a way to set up a counter based on a user's (unix)
group rather than their username?

Essentially I have a user currently under the control of a counter based on
which I limit him to 100 hours of connect time during the month. There are
times when the user might be connected simultaneously from two locations,
previously this has not been a problem... however due to provider changes,
our new provider enforces a single ("soft") concurrent login, and based on
automated policies can end up locking the user out for 8 hours if they
connect concurrently too many times. Unfortunately we can't exempt the user
from that concurrency nor lockout policy.

The solution to the first problem is easy, 2 separate logins. However it
gets complicated in that the total time limit must be only 100 hours per
month (long story... a solution for a good customer in a bad divorce with
his kids stuck in the middle, go figure :-). I can't do two 50 hour
accounts, because we might run out of time on one or the other before the
total reaches 100.

Sooo, long story short... if I could set up a group based counter, assign
the two users to that group, and configure that group for a maximum of 100
hours per month. Each user could dial in as much as required up to the
cumulative total hours configured.

Can this be done?
