Could you suggest where to look for information on writing modules to
handle session tasks?  I've looked at the PAM stuff superficially over the
years, and would be very interested in doing something with the session
modules to do things like automatically creating missing home directories
with appropriate links to automounted directories.

I haven't done much with this on FreeBSD yet since I need pam_ldap and
nss_ldap support which only seems to be available in the 5.x tree.

You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a
reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating
the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for
independence.
