If pam_script is not a good idea than please convert this solution to use 
pam_exec.

in an environment with 5-6-7 year old students it isn't an acceptable use of 
the classroom time to use the current process of saving a profile at login 
because they use computers in up to 5 differnet classrooms. Teachers are 
killing me complaining about this and demanding "their" Windows back! We need 
a dynamic local user type login and this provides it.
