Keeping in mind here that there is no support in IC for a last_accessed 
column at all.  In fact, IC will not use such a column at all even if it 
is kept up to date with triggers or whatever.  It wouldn't be a bad idea 
to add one so IC can tell when a db session has expired, though.  It 
would not be difficult to add such a feature to IC, though, if there's 
enough demand for it.  A new SessionDbExpireField (or something like 
that) directive should take care of it (with corresponding code in 
SessionDB.pm).
