Being network administrator at MSU dorm two years ago, I made a public ssh server. Users were presented in mysql database on another server, so I used pam_mysql and libnss_mysql, which were already existed, for my public ssh server. I also wanted to set disk quota automatically for each user, but linux setquota(8) doesn't allow you to edit quota for non-existing user. Nor did work any pam_setquotas I found. So I wrote a one myself.
Of course, I edited limits.conf. But it didn't save from stupid cpu-intensive "while(1);" programs some nasty users had left running. I decided to kill every user's process, if he/she is no longer logged on the system, and wrote pam_kill for that.
Today, to share my old code, I created two Google Code projects: pam-setquota and pam-kill. You can access them via my Google Code profile.
